Feeding molly fry.

[Ian R]

Hey there,
One of my new Dalmation Mollies has recently given birth to some fry which i have now put in a separate nursery tank. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience of raising them and what is the best diet for rapid and healthy growth???

I've been crushing up flakes very small which they seem to eat off the bottom but is there anything else i can give them??? For instance small bits of cucumber or any live food???

Thanks in advance for any help
Ian

I've been feeding mine some stuff I got off ebay - it's finely crushed powder and they call it fry growth...

Seems to work a treat for me as my week old fry mollie are huge!

You could also try Liquifry No 2 for the first few days

Im using Hikari First bites and it seems to be working. This is my first time though

I feed my fry a powder called "First Bites." It contains all of the nutrients important for their growth. When they're a little older, I would start giving them crush flakes.
