My turtles became friends with feeder guppies

I don’t know if this is posted in the right topic?

So my husband and I bought a dozen feeder guppies for our two RES for a treat. More for us to watch them chase the feeders. Anyways, we did this before and they loved it. We don’t do this too often. Every once in a while. Well this time they became friends with the feeders. So now I have feeders that are not being eaten. I am not feeding them (guppies) anything special and skipped a few feedings for the RES in hopes they will eat the guppies. It didn’t work. Then one day I noticed a few more smaller guppies. Then today I saw what looked liked hundreds of baby guppies but probably closer to fifty. But still it is fifty more than I want. I’m not doing anything special for them. I will say it was cute in the beginning but not so much now. Any suggestions on what I should do? Is right wrong to flush them down the toilet?

It is terribly wrong to flush them down the toilet. Please do not do this. Find someone who keeps fishes and wants them.

I called my LFS and they are not able to take them. I will put a listing on Craigslist or OfferUp in hopes someone will take these.
