Baby Mollies!

I went to petco the other day (*barf*) to get some supplies and I noticed that they had TINY molly fry swimming around in one of the tanks (with the adults ). I asked one of the idiots working there if I could buy them and he gave them to me for free! So now I have all (9!) in a breeding net in the 12 gallon at my dad's office. They are black with just a hint of silver on them and they are sooooooo cute! I'm in love! The funny thing is, I have been looking around for some fish to put in the ten gallon long tank I am setting up at home right now! Is nine too many? I am using a Penguin Bio-Wheel filter which is for aquariums up to twenty gallons. At any rate, I'm just happy because I got free fish!

LOL no your regular molly ..... (dalmation silver exct ect..) will get about 1-2 inches tops full grown ......... I would say expect 1 1/2 inch for each.My adult sailfin is only like 3 1/2 of course my fry are about 5 days old and about half an inchLOL (sailfin) the fry are huge ...... 12 gallon would be a good size ... What fish are they in there with ??
Once they get about 1/2 inch you should be able to add them with the fish (depending on how big) it is good you saved the fry but you need a ten gallon grow ourt at least and when they are big enough put them in the tank or trade them to a lfs
