Most fish stores really don't want donated fish. If your local newspaper has a free column, put an ad for "free to good home". Lastly, stop watching them grow so your tank can balance itself out on it's own.

My mollie gave birth and then did it again 2 weeks later....mollies can do that...

Big fish eat little fish.....the law of nature. I'm surpirsed the UK allows people to put worms on hooks when they go fishing....sheesh

She looks just like my swordtail and I've been waiting for 3 months now ... :shout:

My mollies love frozen blood worms as a treat :good:

here's petco: petco

liquifry really isn't necessary. I've successfully raised fry on the brine shrimp and crushed up flakes...later gave them bloodworms....they all servived.....

Did you give them plenty to eat? A combo of crushed up to powder fish flakes and some frozen brime shrimp? I even throw in a alge wafer too. I only have mollies in my tank so I gave up on the breeding nets and I keep everyone well fed....I have so many babies I don't know what to do with them...

I have a pair of mollies that only have eyes for each other....I know when the time comes and I lose one, the other will probably go too. Their average life span is only 2 years...just remember it's the quality not the quantity... Lynne

Strange...how old is your tank? Do you have other fish in the tank? How long have you had the fish? I feed my mollies wafers all the time so I'm thinking you have something else going on. Lynne Here's the crew eating their daily wafers: My Mollie Video

Oh they're pregnant all right! Female Mollies can control the births. They can stay pregnant for 3 months if they want. Last month my Mollie gave birth to 4 babies then 2 weeks later she gave birth to 15 more. So far I've had 4 fry from her, sure wish she'd give me a break, it's tough finding...

I still think it's something with your tank, did you check with the store where you purchased the fish?

Sounds like your tank hasn't cycled. You have some kind of contamination problem going on. What size and how long has it been up and running? BTW..don't ever, ever, no not NEVER clean a tank out w/bleach.
