A New Molly Fry

[nlafleur]

This is my first molly fry. They were born over the last night while I was sleeping. After I woke up, I moved the mother out of the breeding apparatus, and then crushed up some flake for the new babies (I was surprised how small they were!). They didn't seem to eat any of it, and after work I picked up some liquid food called "Small Fry" which was recommended at my local pet store. They didn't seem to react to it at all, but are they supposed to go after it like the adults go after flake? They are small, so I imagine that their appetites would be smaller, but without even moving towards the food I'm worried that I'm doing something wrong.

Try some small freeze-dried or frozen food. Most fry go for that. Also, try moving away from the tank, if you're standing there. My fry won't eat with me there until they are a good month old.
