You would be psychopathic if you weren't upset, OP.

Yes, you need to separate the fish babies. For rodents, if you leave them in a quiet part of the house, in a large cage and don't stress them, the risk they kill their babies decreases significantly (separate the male).

People, you've got to do a little research when you get pets. Fish and little critters are entirely deserving of just as much love and care as horses, cats and dogs.

I don’t think OP needed a lecture. When I was growing up we bought a male hamster from a pet store. [b]Let’s just say the babies were quite a surprise, so no we didn’t research hamster babies[/b].[/quote]

I disagree with you entirely on your second point: YES, you DO need to research the species and its living and breeding propensities before you get a single individual, even if you don't intend to breed it. It's well known that small animals you get from stores can be sexed wrong and be pregnant already. It's not like store employees take good care of them. I can't emphasize this enough, actually.
