Well i called my lfs like a week ago about my convict fry and they were like we will take them. So i was happy so i call again today and they said that they wont take them and now i am stuck with 28 convict fry. What can i do. I dont have any predatory fish so maybe i could get something or what is the best to do.

I had 400 firemouths with the same problem. I ended up getting rid of some of them in Freecycle but not nearly enough! The problem is, no one wants to pay shipping for a fish you can buy in any store for $5.
edited AGAIN for spelling!!!!!!!! argh

I am just like i dont want to kill them. I worked hard so they would survive. I am like, "i have nowhere to go with them" My mom doesnt like me going on craigslist. IDKY. So today i am taking down a 55 gallon longstory. I want to move my tanks around and stuff. But now i cant because i have all these fry. Ha, my mom said flush them but i am an animal activist.

Most stores will not take them because they have enough already breeding in their own tanks!

Set up a lemonade/convict fry stand outside your house.

If I had tank space, I'd take some from you.
You could always try aquabid.
Just have them pay shipping, and list the price as like $0.01

Good for you! Plan on a new batch about every 2-3 weeks! They are like rabbits.

Well the sad thing is I had the parents seperated from the fry for about 1 and a half months and have yet to see any action of breeding again.
