If you can't find local homes for them most mom and pop pet shops will take
them off your hands for credit or will give you a few bucks. But they
usually want them about the size of nickels.

I hoped that if I could give them away to people on the boards, they may
have a better chance of survival than if they were sold to any tom dick or
harry in a pet store. I'll probably have to go that route, but I thought
I'd try here first. I know they're too little to give away now, but judging
by how fast their parents grew, it won't be long til they're packed like
sardines in my 55!

Since it is now late June and school is almost out, this may not be the
appropriate time!

But, why not contact your local primary school, go in and give a half
hour talk as a science project and offer a few fish to any kid interested?

Both the kids and the teacher would love this.

I had a black molly drop 50 fry. One friend took the larger ones. I
ended up spreading the rest over my 5 tanks. Some got eaten, some
died of one thing or another.

The experience ended my love affair with live bearers. I finally
separated the boys from the girls.

Egg fry are so vulnerable. Don't you almost have to raise them in
their own tank? If the eggs don't get moldy, it seems to me the fry
quickly get eaten in community tanks.
