Looking for a predatory fish to eat a fish as big as a sailfin molly

[Jellymolly44]

Hello everyone, I just had a quick question on what would eat a fish as big as a sailfin molly and wouldn't harm plants and could live in a 75 gallon aquarium. I'm wanting to breed my sailfin mollies and I don't want to flush them and was just looking for a biological culler. I think it would be interesting.

The question SHOULD say [h=2]Looking for a predatory fish to eat a fish as big as a sailfin molly babies.[/h]If the predatory fish eats the mollies there will not be any mollies to breed.

As big as a sailfin molly or as big as a sailfin molly fry? That's a pretty large difference.

I guess as big as a Sailfin molly fry. I was aiming towards when the fry become adults because i can't find a pet store around me that would take em. I've wanted to breed for years but was never that successful at breeding the sailfin variety. They are bigger and more finicky then most of the other live-bearers.

I've been wanting to get a senegal bichir also known as a dinosaur bichir

that would decimate your molly population a better choice for culling fry would be some sort of mid to small sized cichlid

I had a golden killie that ate neon tetras when it got big enough. There are some pretty nice colorations of killie fish out there but I see the golden variety at petco a lot.

Actually I was putting the bichir in my 75 gallon aquarium. My sailfin mollies are actually in a 20 gallon long aquarium. Sorry for the confusion.

Now I am confused. Are you looking for a pedatory fish to place in your 20 gallon tank with your sailfin mollies? Or looking for a pedatory fish to place in a 75 to whom you would feed your sailfin molly fry?

The second thing you said where i would put the fry from the 20 gallon to the 75 gallon for the predatory fish to eat.
