Hehe...this isn't a chatroom, so you'll need to have a little patience and wait more than 1-2 minutes between posts.

Find someone with cichlids who is willing to accept the guppies as feeders from you. Once you do, make a couple passes back and forth with a net, and you'll be bound to net out a few dozen or so from your overstocked tank.

Keep em' in some tankwater, then give em' to your cichlid buddy right away.
Get this problem taken care of before worrying about acquiring new fish.

LOL, Jewel, it's 12:25 AM here and many of the other listers live in earlier timezones than you as well. I dunno about anyone else but that's typically past my bedtime. Patience......

BV pretty much hit the nail on the head, as soon as you decide what fish you want, you need to move the fish you have out. An lfs would probably be happy to take them off your hands, another fish person with fish which enjoy a tasty morsel or, if you find fish you want that would eat them themselves, they'd have a few very good meals when you first started out.

What do you like? What do you want? Have you checked out some of the profiles on this site or any books at the library? With a 10 gallon you are somewhat limited but there are still some very cool options.

What exactly is Alfred? If he is a common pleco, you will want to find a home for him as well. He'll outgrow your tank and foul you water more and more as he grows (and limit your options even more)
