Get rid of your guppies those are a pain. Get only males if you want some as females will still have babies for a little. Or grow the babies up on bbs and then feeed them to your freiends oscar.

They best fry-eaters I've had-other than the parents -are angels and gouramis, but you really don't have room for either, except maybe a dwarf gourami. ~~~~ [/font] ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
