fry in my tank, i don't even know which fish had it, i don't think they were the neons, but it might be the white mollies fry, but it looks about the same. Not much skinnier. I was thankful to see that all the fry were there, but i think there still might be some fry in the tank. Will the mollies and neons eat the mollie fry??? What should i do. I don't have anywhere to puht the baby fry except a small 1 gallon tank which i already put them in, is that good eough? How often should i change the water? doe s the water need to be heated??? HELPO ME PLEASE

I also have fry in my 20 gallon tank, I make sure that they have alot of hiding places, and I have seen a few, but it is survival of the fittest in a big tank, and they will find somewhere to hide most of the time. If you have already moved them to another tank, at least make sure that there is an overhead light if it is a small tank, to keep some heat in there. I have a 3 gallon tank, and it usually stays warm enough, but you also have more problems with ammonia build-up too. As soon as they get big enough, move them into the bigger tank, as you will have less problems with all the ammonia and algae problems. Hope this helped a little!

Ok I doubt they are the neons (Neons are hard to breed) I think it may be the mollies. Anyway what you should at least do if you want to give them a chance in life is heavily vegetate the tank so they can hide. Now you could get a breeding net/divider or a breeding tank if your serious. Check the ammonia and nitrites these build up so fast with so many fry....
