Fry :)

[Roarzilla]

Well two days ago my new Balloon molly gave birth to about 50 fry
one of them was sucked into the filter but I managed to save it but it now has a bent tail.. but it's still eating well
about three of the 50 have swimming problems..can't swim and only swirms around on the bottom of the breeding box
Well..all of them are in the breeding box for now =)

After the babies were born..I saw that a female molly, male molly, male guppy and female guppy rubbing / "flicking" themselves on the decorations
So I suspect that it's ick? Can I treat the adults in the tank with medication with the babies still in the tank or would that be harmful for the babies?
Thanks for the help!

Yes you can, the meds wont harm the fry at all.

Congrats on the fry

Ich treatment is even more urgent with fry in the tank. The small parasites that are ich are just as big on a fry but comaperd to the size of the fry they are huge. You need to get the ich under control before the parasites decimate your fry. There ia an ich link in my signature that should help you understand what you are facing and what to do about it.
