Sure enough there they are hiding in the plants.I see 3 babies. wish I would have seen them yesterday, we went and bought some supplies and 3 fish to eat some of the algae. Now I have to go out and get a nursery so they wont be eaten. Life as a fish grandad!![]() |

First of all, congrats! But there is probably more babies hiding in your tank. Look carefully because these tiny fish like to hide under the gravel or plants. I remember 2 months ago when my molly had babies, i only saw 8 hiding by the plants but when I looked carefully 19 of them were hiding underneath the substrate. You can feed them flakes but make sure you crush them into very fine pieces. Have fun grand-dude. LOL

Allways fun to hear ;)
I would maybe suggest, instead of a nursery at this point. You should buy some artificial grass, and something simular that floats. As imadixen mentions there are probably more than you can see, and trying to catch any at this point will be a serious pain. Better to provide plenty of hiding for them instead.

Cool. I also have about 50 Dalmation Mollies, now about an inch long and today I am moving them to a 20g long I bought for them. I also have about 10 Golden Lyertail Mollies about 1/2 inch long. When my female was super prego, I put her in the 10g planted tank. Two days later the fry were swimming all around. I took her out and put her back into the 60g tall she came from.
When they get up to size I'll take them to the LFS for credit. I'll bet they cost me 5X the cost of what I'll get. Although I can still use the 10g and 20g for other purposes after that. My wife really likes having the babies and it is kinda cool to feed the swarm. They are eating tons of the flake, freeze dried mix I made for them.
