Hi everyone! I am now the proud 'auntie' to about 15 molly fry so far! I'm sure there are more hidden around but I'm not stressing to collect them all. I am planning on getting a fry tank set up this week but until then I also have 2 female guppies with very obvious 'eyeballs' at the back end and I was wondering if it would be safe to put them into the net with the baby mollys until they release their fry or will they eat them? The mollies are only about 2 days old ish?

Also...
1. Once you can see a round tum and a gravid spot, how long til baby time?

2. Has anyone noticed if their mollys/platys hide away a little and hang out near the bottom of the tank just before they release their fry? Both of mine have been doing this the last few days and the molly has now released. Just wondered if this was a way of telling the time was near?

Back to waste more time baby spotting! :D
Thanks
Beckee
