I'm raising a nice brood of guppies in a 55 gallon tank with 2 tuxedo
catfish, and a few small plants. Can I introduce a few glass sucking algae
eaters, or will they eat my babies? Thanks!

Algae eater will eventually become a problem, and it makes no
diference if they are babies or adult fish........there is beter
hcoices than a algae eater. Look for a fish that looks like a typical
algae eater but is called a flying fox............much nicer
dispostion when it gets older and it is truly very peacefull and
causes no problems. Or a rubber lipped plecostemus, or perhaps some
large moon or other non prolific species of snails.

I have 60 plecos sharing a 125 gal tank with over 200 guppies, and about
25 albino & green corycats. I give many of the fish away when it starts
getting crowded.

Fuck your batch of fish. Best scoop them up and drop in a hot oil
french frier and have deep fried fish sticks or use em as compost.

I only do that when a few die from old age of from some unknown reason.
My flower beds are filled with many fish that have died over the years.
