Fry

[foo25]

I was cleaning out my filter media lately, and when I was finished, in the jug I carried it in there was a bit of water in the bottom. As I was just about to pour it down the drain, I seen what looked like a tadpole.

I looked at it at eye-level, and saw a young free swimming fry!! This was very supprising, because I have never bred fish before, and I have only started keeping tropical fish a few months ago!! I went out to a pet shop and bought a floating fry raising box, and some fry food.

By looking at it I think its a Molly, and also I recently got a new Molly and it now keeps rubbing and pushing underneath the other Molly. I think they must have had it when my Dad went on a an business trip and no-one was home.

He is the only one I ever found, and I was just wondering if anyone can give me tips or help on raising him.

Thanks

Looking at your specs, it is most likely a molly fry. Mollies, like most other livebearers will breed whenever given the chance, regardless of water conditions.

That aside, I hope you get a much larger tank sometime soon you have quite a bit of fish for a 16gallon tank.

You have all of those fish in 16 gallons!!!!!!!!!!!

Can they turn around? What is this an aquarium or a sardine can?

...............................................I'm speechless.

44 fish....in 16 gallons........I wouldn't put 44 neon tetras in a 16 gallon.........I wouldn't put a single pleco in a 16 gallon.........

Have you read anything on here?
