Need something to eat fry

Thusly "Ali Day" Spake Unto All:

My wife wanted a couple of guppies in the tank and even though my tank is
at
the edge of their recommended environment, they are now breeding like
crazy
and another few weeks of this and my tank will be over run.

You don't really need anything to eat fry, the population will reach a
steady-state at the carrying capacity of the tank.
That said, if you still want something... Angelfish would be my first
choice. They're not effective enough to wipe out the guppies, but will
decimate them.

I want to leave plenty of space in the tank for future additions, in the
last week alone I've seen about 20 - 30 more new fry from just three
females, with 10 'adolescent' guppies in there already, it's going to become
mayhem if I stop them soon,

Other possibilities would be e.g. cardinal tetras or dwarf cichlids.

I have a pair of Rams in my tank and as curious as they are, aren't even
going near the fry, but Cardinals would work well in my community, will pick
some up this evening and give it a try.

Thanks
