Learning Experience With Mollies

[kchimko]

Hi,

so i come home from work today, start feeding my fish, and i notice there is a flat black thing in the gravel.

so i take a closer look and i can see fins!

apparently one of my mollies is starting to give birth.

please i am very new at all of this, what should i do with them?

i do not have any other tanks setup and only have my 1 10gallon tank with my 4 mollies.

should i scoop them out and put them in a small bowl?

i hear there are a net for this although unfortunately i forgot what it was called.

aswell, how do i feed these little guys and keep them healthy?

Thank you in advance.

Leave them in the tank, just plenty of plants and hiding spaces, good luck.

You can buy baby food, or just feed them on crushed flake. The parents may or may not eat them, seems to depend on personality, but lots of plants are going to be their best chance of survival. You might want to float a plant on the surface to give them extra hiding space. Feed them 3-4 times a day, and do extra water changes to compensate.
