Big fish always eat little fish.

I've found Red Phantom Tetras are the best for neutralizing fry.

To control the population, obviously! Imagine a tank where all the babies lived- always. In a year it'd burst full of fish!!!!!!!

live bearers not eating their young eh, I thought cichlids were the only ones that did that . I would say try some barbs I guess. I would think that the parents would take care of them themselves though.

Stop feeding your fish and I am sure that the fry will eventually be eaten.
