Guppy control

[Jonathan6303]

So I got some guppies to feed to my fishing spider. Well they had babies and there babies had babies. What do I do with them. I don’t use them as a feeder anymore because I prefer crickets.

Their prolific breeding is why I've never kept them! That's a good question. Maybe a mom and pop pet store if any still exist in your area?

I have a few small reptile and exotic pet stores but since there so prolific I don’t think they will need them.

Man, that's a tough one. Hopefully someone else here can offer suggestions. Good luck though!

They offer excellent exponential growth. Every 30 days.
Just add a fish in there that can pick them off. Maybe a few exodons

Will it be good in a ten gallon tank

Definitely. Exo's are small tetras, and you'll just be adding a few.
Just make sure you have filtration.

The fish hobby really interests me. I would want a carnivorous fish though. Do you keep lion fish. Pterois genus

No.
I used to have a few freshwater tanks.
If you want to see something real nasty. Get a little bluegill. You won't have a guppy problem for long.

That’s fine.

There are affordable small filters that you can run in there or use a small sponge filter with an airline/airpump. Just start running one to let the bacteria colony get established. It also helps provide oxygen.
