Baby Black Mollies?!?!?!

[MikeZheng]

My Black Molly just gave birth yesterday and I had to collect all the fry. I put all the fry inside a container put them under a lamp and put some ammo-chips in so the ammonia doesn't spike. I don't know what to do with them! Any help is needed.

I leave mine in with the parents. I have lots of floating plants that they hide in. As they get older, honestly, I feed them to my Jack Dempseys.

if you want to keep them, you need to get a filtered tank. dont get a HOB filter though, as the fry are easily sucked up into it. sponge filters work best with fry tanks.
you can go pick up a 10 gallon tank for less than 15 bucks and then a sponge filter and an air pump for like 20 or 25 dollars. to quickly cycle the tank, take some media from your existing tank and put it in there for a bit.
molly fry are big enough to take crushed flake food, but you mgiht want to start out with newly hatched brine shrimp.

if you cant get a 10 gal tank i would just put them back into the tank. unless you have a place to raise them and know what your going to do with them after that its better that they become a snack now.
