heater in molly fry tank

HEy

well my molly had fry( )and i put them in a 5 gal. they all seem fine trying to burrow in to the gravel. i wanted to knwo can i put a heater in there or will it fry the fry?like is there a low voltage heater i can get for them or do they only make for 10 gals and up.

my guppy fry live in a tank w/a heater. i dont think it should be a problem if they have 1. i honestly dont think that they need anything but a filter at this point though.

It can't fry them if it's set at the right temperature. Just make sure you have a thermometer in there. I have a heater in my fry tank and it's fine. They're betta fry and much more delicate so mollies would be fine.

I use a 25w on my 5.5g.

cool. k ill get one. i want to make sure they grow up properly cuz they seem to just lie on the gravel alot and dont do much as my other fry were all over the place wen i first had them.

Whats the temp in the 5g?

It depends what the temp is already. It is very cold here still (water temp without heaters sits just below 60 degrees F). So I use 50w heaters on all the 10g rearing tanks.
