Well, Maria the first thing is that in livebearers, you should ALWAYS have more girls than boys because they will get overbred. But if you have more girls than boys, the males will have more choices and leave the others alone to rest. It is perfectly normal for livebearers to have alot of babies many times, but haveing more males will help. If you want to keep the babies, put in alot of fine leaved and dense plants for them to hide in. A net breeder is okay when the babies are very little, but be sure to let them out so their spine does not bend on itself. This is becuase they don't have any room to grow. If you do decide to use a net breeder, put in the female when she is quite large and there is a big black spot near her anal fins, those are the eyes. Then remove her ASAP as soon as you see the babies. Hope this helps you!!!
