meat eating fish

[Dogsby]

I have way too many baby guppys, and a spare 10 gal thats almost cycled. What kind of fish could be good for getting rid of some babies? no lfs around here will take them, even for free, and all my friends dont want more.
I want to keep having babies, to see what I get, but no room for more tanks, 4 is enough for now.
Any suggestions for fish that wouldnt mind guppy ala carte quite often, but can stay in a 10 gal?

Do you have a bigger tank with largr fish that you could put them in? Pictus cats are great at eating smaller fish (it is due to a unfortunate experience that I know this), but they need a larger tank.

I know goldgish & guppies will eat fry whan there small but if you have plants or cover in the tank they will usually survive. Unless you have another tank then there are many fish that you could have that would eat them as food how bout a nice big tank with piranha lol......

maybe a fighting fish would like a nice 10 gallon tank with some free food.

One thing you could do is to remove some of the decor or plants in the main tank. With less hiding spots, less fry will survive.
Just about any fish will take fry if the fry are small enough..... platies, bettas, gouramis, small cichlids like rams, danios, barbs....

Laser printer to stun hum let me know how it works I'll try it on my beagle he drives me nuts sometimes I wish I had all his energy lol.......

If I can get my laser printer to stun, I'm gonna use it on myself!
Maybe I can stop myself from buying more fish!!

LOL that is hilarious. How many LPS did you call to see if they'll take them? I know that really small stores or the big chains usually wont take them, but I know of a few stores that will gladly take them as long as they're healthy...with this most current development maybe you should try calling some more? OR how about a local fishery? I don't know what they use for food, but it might be worth a call.

I tried the only 3 places around here (that I know of)
1 is pet supplies plus a chain
1 is a pet store with fish
1 is a fish and ceramic store
None of them want any gups
