Question molly babies ( and more to come )

hi i have a 10 gallon aquarium and i got 4 mollies. 2 dalmatian , 1 silver and 1 black. there is 2 boys and 2 girls. a week later after i got them they had 5 babies. i plan on keeping them but what should i do with the other future babies? i don't want to end up with a overstocked 10 gallon.

Well, with future babies if you find you are overstocking your tank you can do a couple of things. One would be to buy another tank and have that be their home. Another would be to see if your local fish store accepts fry. If he/she does but not for store credit, I would recommend you do donate them anyway. Another option would be to sell/give away your fry to family or friends. You could also post an add on CL and see if anyone would want some free/cheap fry. Well, that is some things you can do. Hope this helped.

Another option (while not as pleasant) would be to just let your fish eat them. Sad, but thats what happens. Im a softy and can't, so i have a separate tank for mine....
