Thanks guys. If the fish are going to be fine for 7 days without food its great. Thanks for the help.

Thanks. Would duckweed be a good idea?

Hi, The video above, shows my small pond setup which has a black, orange, yellow and 2 red mollies with a lot of FRY. There is a home made filter and a biofoam filter. Both of these are ON for almost all days of week (except for an hour or two of electric power failure which happens once or...

@basboi85 - Hi, Thanks for your reply, I'm trying to figure out a way if I can create a partition using a net or something. That could help me keep the males away from the black one for a while. But to make it in a custom shape it will add some time so on priority basis I will get some more...

My black molly delivered fry yesterday evening. Around 30 of them. On purpose was feeding her very frequently in order to ensure some fry are saved from being eaten. I had already separated the black molly from the other adult fish, about 2-3 days back. And, today morning I put the black molly...

Thanks a bunch to all of you for the responses. As you can see in the above video. I just made a few changes to the existing main pond set up and moved pregnant black molly there with other fishes. This would be like going with "Survival of the fittest". I've created enough hiding spaces for...

If you see the video in my post... s/he is just a little less than a cm or so...

My yellow molly fish gave birth last week but I found only 1 single surviving fry hiding under a few stones in the tub. I separated it in a large Jar and have covered it with a lid that has 2 holes. I keep this jar submerged in the main tub itself. The fry seems to be doing good and its been a...

The tub (pond is about 28 inches in diameter and about 12 inches in height. In the video it kind of appears smaller than what it actually is. Considering Mollies don't grow much do you think it should be enough for 5-6 Mollies in all? I do partial water changes in about a week and that seems to...

The yellow molly fish was pregnant but I just couldn't figure out when she was ready to deliver the babies. One fine morning I noticed that she had gone completely SLIM all of a sudden. However, I didn't see any baby fish in the TUB. It was only today that the single surviving Molly fry was...

I'll be adding gravel and a few plants a few larger smooth rocks and a few PVC pipe connectors soon. Hope it helps the babies to hide & survive. Thanks. I wasn't really aware of that! :) Learn't something new.... Ideally I should have googled :unsure:

Yes, 2 males and 2 females. Oh yes, my 5 years old nephew has named all 4 of them: Yellow Male: Goldie Yellow Female: Honey White Male: Krish Black Female: Jenissa So the one whose pregnancy status is being investigated is Honey....

Its an artificial pond like setup done in a large (28" diameter) tub. I'm still to add gravel and more aquarium plants to it. You can see the full view of it here Your comment "with child" would mean, the guy mollies are kids yet or that the yellow one is actually pregnant :) ?

The female yellow Molly appears larger than it was when I got it. It's either got to do something with indigestion or it is actually pregnant. How do I find out? Also just in case if would need one later, it would be great to know if a breeder net would stay well in a tub kind of set up like...

Thats good news because the Mollies aren't really going for the algae thats growing near the stem of the lotus at the bottom.. may be the shrimp would like munching on it :-)
