Congrats on your babies!

You will probably get more of an idea of what you can do with them as far as your local stores go by calling them and checking out what their policies are. A lot of your chain stores will buy wholesale in bulk for really cheap, whereas some of your more non-chain stores go may take from the public. Some stores will take the fish and give store credit, some will take them and not give you anything, some won't take them. It just depends on where you are. Good luck and take care of your new babies!

Fishy, I know the PetCos and PetSmarts here won't buy them back for anything, and the only way you would be able to give them to them is to dump them into the plant tank or something when noone is looking Go with the local mom and pop shops, and see...I know I get 1/3 of what they sale them for. This I get in store credit, that I am trying to save up for possibly another tank Grow them out first, they need to have their "tails and colors" before selling them...let us know if you need help or advice...heidi

Just raise them up & try to sell them to small pet shops. I don't think that large chain stores will buy Guppy's. All you have to do is phone & try your luck.
