COMMUNITY : FORUMS : PETS


fish babies :P !!!

OK so today I went to my local fish store and got 3 new silver mollies and some plants for my community tank, and after I floated the bag and was about to strain the bag to get the fishes out I noticed little fry in the corner of the bag. After I put the silver mollies in the tank I put the fry in my floating fry net. 9 little baby mollies :P <>< <>< <><

I have 3 generations of balloon-belly mollies in my tank. (yes, balloon-bellies are a real type of fish. Here's a picture of one of mine)

. Congratulations! You must be a proud parent.
. If you've never raised fry before, there is LOTS of info on the 'Net. Google is your friend :)
. BTW, if you're a big fish lover, don't type "fish fry" into the Ibles search. heehee

If Nacho's link doesn't work,
Floating Flake Food and Freeze Dried Blood Worms are ok. Most all livebearers like a few Black Worms every other day. Both of these foods are available in most pet stores.

. Not sure this will work for Mollies, but it should put you on the right path.

The parents would have thought so, had they been put directly into the tank with them.
