I am up to my eyeballs in fish!:wall: What the h*ll do I do with them all. They let the whole batch live and now the female just made another batch with a different male! I have no where to put the female convict as the 10 gal has a very tiny (full grown 1 1/2 ") female jellybean that I am pretty sure convict will kill her or at least make her wish she was dead. They are pretty though, I wanted to keep a few fish but not a few hundred! Some have blue fins (tiny bottom front fins) some no color and some black, some even have spots. Pictures of babies and daddy.

Good suggestion, Element.:) They always make good feeder fish for predatory fish on another note if they breed a lot.
 
That just sounds so brutal and unfair. I can't kill them. What is wrong with giving them away?

That was only my opinion and I do realize not all will agree with it.:) Point is how are you going to control the population with limited resources? Besides, we do not encourage giving away hybrids.:) There is the likeliest chance that this will go out of control thus decimating the pure strains. On another note, you can always give them away to a person who won't likely distribute them further.

Just my two cents.
