You have several options.

Give em away to friends, schools, retirement centers.
Keep em all for yourself.
Leave them in the tank and let nature take its course.
or try to sell them to a store for cash or store credit.

I don't like feeding the fry to bigger fish, when you can get store credit from most small fish stores, whats the point of throwing them away?

You could keep some that you like and sell the others for profit, just like I am doing.
