Mollies Had Fry Need Some Help Only Had Them Two Weeks

[smitt_graham]

only had them two weeks and we got three babys swimming around couldnt believe it, but great.The female mollie is going mad at the moment swimming around what seems like looking for food.Is this normal? any idea how many they have? Any suggestions on cleaning the tank obviously when i use gravel vac dont want to be sucking them up. What we think is the female one is silver and the male smaller and black would you get black ones or silver fry or a mixture or possibley preggers in lfs. should we seperate fry from adult mollies
from a newby in need of advice

Yes, they can breed every month and a large female mollie can have up to 100 babies! Try reading the fsh breeding/ livebearer section of this website and yes u should definetely separate the babies because they will get eaten.
