I have so many guppies they have outgrown my tank. I have 60 adults and 60 new babies...
I have been trying to find a reliable way to advertise them for sale. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

You can visit pet store and get them to offer you a price or you can trade them with different fish or maybe ornaments in the store.

If you know how to ship fish, there's Ebay and Aquabid (a clear good picture is almost a necessity these days). There's LiveDeals.com and narrow it down to your area. See if the pet stores and tropical fish stores in your area will allow you to put up for sale cards (but be careful who you let come to your house; might be safer to use a voicemail box so they don't get your home phone and then meet them in some populated neutral place for the exchange). CraigsList around here has tons of live animals for sale so I don't know why you were removed (you might want to question them about that, might have been done in error).

Assuming you have fairly high quality guppies and are willing to sell them fairly cheap a local pet store will probably be interested. I would suggest you go talk to them and take a sample of your guppies with you so they can see the quality. If they aren't interested at the time, ask if they may be interested in the near future when their current stock of guppies sells down.

This is a start! Your question already got my attention. I want one! : )
Other methods:
-You can tell your friends, neighbors, co-workers and have them spread the word for you.
-If you advertise via email to some of your friends, they could forward it to others and to anyone who may be interested.
-You can also try putting an ad in the newspaper.
-There are also websites like craigslist where you can sell or give away all sorts of things...or pets. : )
-Go to a local pet store and see if they are interested.
Good luck! : )

everyone is assuming you have super bred guppies. go back to craiglist and don't charge for the guppies -- charge a nominal packaging fee. free guppies -- handling is a dollar or whatever for the bag and water.

You can advertise on my website. I can't give you any guarantees but you never know, somebody might want some. Heck I might even want some, when I get back from out of state of course.

Sell them to a local pet store as feeders.

Aquabid.com is just like E-Bay, except it sells fish. E-Bay will also work, but it's not always recommended. Maybe Petco or Petsmart will accept your fish for a small price.

Without shipping them, local pennysaver, post at pet store. Craigslist don't sell them , charge relocation or adoption fee. ><>:)
