Well, I added about 15 guppies to the tank. I cant figure out if I have too many male/female ratio in there. Colorful girls and fast fish make it near impossible for me.
They need that morning after pill. After I took them from an overcrowded tank about 30 babies came out of hiding !

You are getting overrun. I had that problem with goldfish for a few years until the fish got big enough to eat all the eggs and young.

Add some predatory fish, and look the other way? That's the hard part about fish keeping if you get good at it. Do you keep any platy or mollies? They will eat their own and others fry. So will bigger angels, and female betta seem to like to hunt them down too. Pretty much anything with a mouth big enough will help.

Otherwise a tiny fish fry? It is lent.

I have platys in there. they are adding to the problem ! I have angels but Im not sure how to do that. Catch the babies and put them in the angel tank? Not sure if I can or not. I know I have to do something. My Mystery snail are doing the same thing. 100s of them just hatched.

I also have a male betta. IDK if he is eating any or not. Then theres the hornwort and java moss going nuts... I have that in 2 of my tanks and a bucket. Wonder if anything would survive my pond ?

You have the worse problem. You are good at the hobby.

Can you add a pair of angel fish to your guppy tanks. If course that may get you angels breeding on all the good food.

With snails I had to finally get some yoyo loach. They are all my snails pretty quickly.

My angels are just starting to fight/pair off. Pretty good sized. They wont hurt the adults ? I dont know pairs yet.

Oh and as far as loaches, I probably wont make it back to a fish store for a long while.

I can't guarantee it, but technically the angels shouldn't bother the guppies. I did have one Angel try to eat a Cory catfish and got it stuck in its mouth and died, so,,,

You could try hand picking out snails. That never worked for me as they reproduce rapidly. Goldfish will eat smaller snails, but again you would need a fish store.

I just realized you meant access to a fish store to get these fish but at first I thought you meant like you would need a fish store to house all the fish you’re gonna have

Cause that would totally me. I need an entire pet store or farm for all the things I want

I do practically already have a pet supply store though
