No, the only (immediate) solution is to find a new home for the female(s). Even if you get rid of the males, the females will continue to give birth (for up to several months). Reason? The females are capable of storing sperm from a single mating and use it to fertilize several broods. See these websites:

Of course, you could always ask your local pet stores if they are willing to take some of your babies of your hands (sometimes for cash, more often for store credit or exchange for food/supplies).

last time i checked theres no birth control for fish. Get daddy sword out of tank of mommy sword. Abstenance is the best policy for no more baby fishes. Most stores will take your babies in if you are running out of room, other wise get a more aggressive type fish in the tank they will take care of the baby population and have a nice snack in the process. Not trying to be mean its just nature.

You would have to keep the males and females in seperate tanks.
Or you could have a serious talk to them about self control, but they probably won't listen!

NO. I have the same issue. Put them up on craigslist and make some $$ out of it!
