[cybersymes]

high there...my fry tank...
well the 'fry' are 3/4 of an inch long now...
there are 16 of them...
and they're in a 3gallon[imp] tank...

i see trouble ahead...
doing 10% changes every other day...
should i up that...for a while...
and try to get some credit at the lfs for the fry ... ???

Its time to cull them or off load or get a bigger tank......

Ditto that. Try trading them in to the LFS.

 

[discus4everGrl]

first thing I would do is make sure you don't have any defects. Ones that malformed, ragged fins, crooked spines, or just haven't grown like the others. If you have any like this you should cull them. Then see how many you have left and trade them.

 

[cybersymes]

they are all looking good...
one is albino...pure clear red platy...
i think it's time to trade them in ...

 

[cybersymes]

mmmmmmmmmm...lfs no can take them yet...
too small...ok when they hit an inch...

i'll be doing larger water changes for a while methinks...

Man if only you didint live so far away >< I would consider taking any of them that you cant use for taking* melformed* and any others you cant seem to unload.. Do you know of shiping from that far?? Maybe theres still a way..You have a overload for sure O_O massive amounts.. hm... They sound cute though ^-^ hehehe. I think you've got the right plann going waiting for the incher mark and going forward from there.. Good luck, and let us know if theirs anything that can be done to help you.

you can get big $ for the albino. my friend sold an albino guppy for $20 to the local fish store. apparently they are pretty rare? he also got a pure black guppy which sold for alot

Either a bigger tank or frequent water changes will do until they're big enough to sell to the LFS, although a bigger tank would be better.
