Baby Mollies

[myfishbrian]

Well it looks like my Mollies had babies and I took the male out and left the two females in. Should I take them out too? The babies hide in a couple fake plants I have in there.

Females will eat them just as soon as males. If you have somewhere (another cycled tank) to move them to, than I would. Otherwise, the fry that survive will have to hide and be quick.

My baby mollies always remain in the tank with thier parents. No eating has ever occured. But Platties, guppies, Moon Tails will try to eat the baby mollies. Had seen one black mollie chasing a white baby mollie. Its strange.

I would separate them from any adults right now. I have raised them from fry and they are cute fish to watch grow up 8)

depends on what you want to do.... i always leave mine in the same tank but i am not looking to try and breed a bunch of them.... they do that on their own...
