So many guppies.....

After starting off with about half a dozen guppies, I now have so many I can't count them all. 100+, grown fish, tiny ones and ones in between. I started off wanting them to breed so I would be able to restock the tank that was a bit depleted after we moved house and now we are over run. I rarely clean the tank and the pump is broken, but they don't seem to care about unchanged water and not being fed at regular times. They just keep having babies. What an I do with them? Will I end up with lots of three headed, two tailed deformed fish from inbreeding? The kids used to get so excited about baby fish and even they are so unbothered by them now it's such a regular occurrence. What can I do with them all?

Well they will all die pretty soon if you don't do water changes or have a filter! I'd rehome the lot if you don't want them. Try a local aquatic store or a local aquatic club if there is one.
