My molly had babies (20+) and I have them in a breeders net. My aquarium is already full, I can't keep the babies in their too! Once they outgrow the breeding net, what do I do with them??? HELP!

I can't give them away to anyone, no one I know wants them. :(

This is why I always try to discourage people from trying to breed fish. Now you have to figure out how to get rid of them. Stop putting the babies in the breeder nets. The adults will eat the babies and you won't have to worry about it. If you really want to get rid of them, either give them away to friends or donate them to a pet store. If that doesn't work, you will just have to get another tank or risk overcrowding the one you have.

Ditto to magic, you might find people stepping up to take your offer if you placed some kind of ad, which shouldn't be terribly expensive. I've taken fry, albeit, for food source in the past from people that have advertised locally. If not, or don't feel this is the best course of action, then I'd go with the other poster, free them from the breeding net, and allow them to be targeted as food from your current population.

You can try trading them in at the pet store, but they will only take them in as trade usually and then only if they are about the size you normally see for sale. Otherwise I would suggest you just give them away.

give them to a local pet store, like petco, petsmart, exotics aquatis, along the line of fish stores

well maybe you should just let the older fish eat them. or get a bigger tank (or another one).
