Currently I have-
10 gallon (molly breeding tank)-
-6 mollies (2m4f)
-one male fancy guppy
-1 chinese algae eaters
30 gallon-
-one crayfish (4 inches)
-one small common pleco
-2 feeder 1 ½” goldfish
-each aquarium has whisper filters, gravel, fake plants, heaters, thermometers, airstones, lines and pumps, and some decorations
-i also have a 2 in 1 breeder trap (but I heard that mollies dont do well in small spaces.) tell me info on breeding tips with them
questions-
1. will a 4 inch crayfish eat mollies that are full grown and/or babies?
2. what should I do about breeding the mollies, can I put the breeder trap in the large 30 gallon and when the mom is done with giving birth put her back in the 10 gallon and release the babies in the 30 gallon for the crayfish? (that way I wont run into an overcrowding issue with the 10 gallon)
3. since the 1 CAE are going to go carnivorous ill put them in the 30 gallon to help the crayfish eat the dead remains of feeder fish and frozen krill, is this going to work.
4. what fish would work for algae/waste management in a 10 gallon I don’t want to many cuz then I will have overcrowding.
5. could mollies and feeder goldfish eat live ants as a treat?
and i am going to return the common pleco due to its maximum size but i need ideas for a different pleco that would work
p.s. random question have u heard of petco, petsmart or any other pet store that deals with fish, buying fish from normal people that have extras after a birth (Marble or Dalmatian Mollies to be exact), how much would they give me per fish and how mature do they have to be before they will buy them?
