too many baby fish being born

Question
Hello,
I am new to owning a freshwater aquarium.  Have a 75 gal aq. set up since mid January 2008.  I have live plants; 2 guppies, 2 topsail platys, 4 platys, 6 gold tetras, 2 neon tetras. The platys and guppies are having so many babies that I can't keep up with them. . . they don't seem to be eating them. . . and I am concerned about having too many fish in this aquarium to be healthy if this keeps up. When the babies first began to arrive, I attempted to catch them and keep in separate holding area.. . I cannot catch the pregnant mothers or the babies. . . and they seem fine with the big fish.  I even noticed the platys chasing the tetras away from the area where the babies were hiding. The best I can tell, I have 20 babies all in various stages of development and every day, there seem to be new small babies. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi Anne:  Besides separating the fish... you are going to just have baby fish all the time... this is not really a bad thing... because as they get older you can take them to the aquarium and trade them in for store credit... to buy food, etc for the fish... If you can deal with the babies in the mean time they can easily help to support your hobbies... just call around and ask which of the aquarium store will accept fish for credit.  I would not worry too much about who gets eaten and who doesn't... This is what fish do.  You can separate the bigger fish from the babies... or provide the babies with some bushy plants to hide in... but that is about all you can do.  Keep me posted... dave
