Fish Fanatic
We went away for vacation for a week. Before we left, I knew that my female molly was pregnant since she had her last fry Sept 30 and it had been 4+ weeks since then. We came home on Thursday night to find 14 littlee fry in the breeder net! We had a friend of mine looking after the fish while we were away and told her that she might have the babies while we were gone, but she didn't have to worry about trying to save them since I put a lot of stuff in the tank for them to use as cover. However, she took her 2 daughters along when she came over to check on them, and once the girls saw the babies, they insisted she catch them and put them in the net. So now I have 14 little ones swimming in my breeder net. They will stay in there for another week or 2 unti they grow bigger and then I will release them into the main tank after I move the mother upstairs to the bigger tank. After that, I have to figure out what to do with the fry that make it to adulthood.
