Guppy explosion

Question
Hi,
I just bought an Aquatic plant(Lotus like) and as i live in the tropics thought it was a good idea to keep a couple of guppies in the pond(mosquitoes).the pond is open air and has plenty of sunlight say 10 30 liters or so.

The issue is that the guppies keep on multiplying. I had bought 2 now in a week they were 6. and now i have lost count just i say 3 months.what can i do to keep them from over crowding the pond.
Please help
reply soon

Answer
Hi Shrutesh,
 Your guppies are doing what guppies do best, namely breed.  There really isn't anything you can do to make them stop breeding.
