Set up tank in Feb for my sons birthday. Have three fish . a male guppy, a puffa of some kind and a poss a platy (looks like a gold fish with a very dark orange tail fin?). Three weeks ago had suprise arrival of 2 fry, then last Sat had sudden arrival of 30-50 more fry.
Completely new at this as you can tell, with no prev experience. Did not plan to breed. What has happened and what do I do now. My tank is only supposed to hold 10-15 max.
Help

get a bigger tank. but your guppy, platy and puffa will eat every one they can get.

Guppy and platy will give you a lot of fry. Just leave them in the tank as food for the rest of the food if you don't want to raise them.
