I had the same problem at first I was freaked out untill I found that the fish ate their own babies and the all kept dying unless I got them into another tank. So if you leave them alone they should just eat each other.

Give them to a petstore and remove either the males or the females. Or you could buy a carniverous fish to eat the babies.

Couldn't resist.
I worked for a large dept. store, and they sold fish in the pet shop.
A lady bought two Guppies.
On her way home one Guppie had babies.
Before she arrived home, one Guppie ate the babies.
She came back to the store and demanded that the babies be replaced.
She raised so much hell, went to mangement with her complaint.
UH HUH! YUP! She got two more Guppies, FREE!
LMAO.

well get a net divider and when the babies are born separate them so the older fish don't eat them. try to give them away or to a pet shop

you either have to give some of them up, by donating them to the local pet store, or get them all seperate tanks(dont think that will work.)you cant put males and females together without expecting this result.

i word that temperature surely does play a roll contained in the authentic results of the sex of the little ones. yet i wouldnt attempt to modify the temperature of your tank. finally you'll finally end up with some men. stay bearers have a tendency to "shop" sperm for as a lot as 4 more desirable batches of fry. so that you need to be ok :)

Sounds like you have Guppies - they breed like rabbits!
