Fish babies: situation critical

Against my wishes and despite my firm reprimands, my platys have spawned once more. The latest batch of babies are pure white, so they're really pretty, but they're also really starting to fill up the tank. My catfish have taken to lying on top of each other (presumably to save space, rather than because they're trying to spawn too), and my bloodfins spend all day dashing around in terror because every time they stop moving, a baby platy appears. If they all survive to adulthood, my fish tank is going to look something like this:



Except they'll still have their heads.

My cunning plan is to sell them. Platys are great starter fish, really tough little bastards. My advert will go something like this:

Dirty filthy porno fish for sale. Ring this number: 01223 PORNFISH

Maybe one of the dirty filthy porno fish will grow up and become a Fish Evangelist?

And then he can persuade all the other fish not to engage in premarital sex and wear WWJD? bracelets, thus solving my problem forever!

Forever! *shakes fist*

He can urge the others not to wear fishnet stockings, and hook piercings are not cool. And then there's the exorcisms to try and at least get the wickedness into your tank filters so the water will be cleansed.

And yes, your problem is forever solved! *jazz hands* HALLELUJIAH.

And then Jesus will Rapture all the fish babies away.
