Molly Babies Pls Help

[willo1982]

Hi, Can anyone please tell me how many babies one molly can have. I think I have a tank full of about 20 babies, also the other molly is looking very fat so think there could be some more arrivals on the way. Its only a small tank, what can I do with them all, Thanks.

I'm not a Molly expert so I don't know how many fry they can have but for controlling th numbers you have to let the adults eat them. It's sad, I know. Some will survive though!

hi they can have up to 50+ in one batch, you can always try to rehome the babies once they are bigger at your lfs, we rehomed 50 swordie babies & got some fishfood & plants in exchange, just be aware some lfs will not take them unless you are a registered breeder so it can be a problem, you may just have to let nature take its course by leaving babies in the tank ( not something i like doing) or you will get overrun very quickly
