Hh3- You have another whole thread going on that. I've replied there. And LFS - Local Fish Store.

LFS stands for local fish store. If you read this thread, you will find several answers about your fry. They are basically the same as iJays mollies.

I can give my Mollie fry to a lfs. I am lucky they will take them. They have to be careful for insurance purposes. I also have another lfs who says they will take them and give me credit. We'll see! The lfs don't normally want them IME until they are about 1 1/4" I have loads, they have had a population explosion since moving from a 20ukgal tank to a 65.

i just gave 5 babies to my LFS (the other one where i will doing business from now on) this morning.
why only 5 you might ask?
they are darn quick and catching a 1 inch fish on a 180L tank is not that quite easy.
any suggestions?

Yep, it is hard. And you also don't want to stress them out too much. Taking out all the decorations and using a big net is the easiest way for me. Quick reflexes are good too.
