Molly Fry...

[katykaye]

My dalmation molly gave birth on christmas eve, unfortunately we were otherwise distracted but did manage to save 3 fry!

I had them in a nursery for a few weeks then, about 3 weeks ago I transferred them to the main tank. 2 of them are looking great and are growing really well - they are now about (......this......) big (how do you measure fish? lol) but one is still tiny, about (.this..) big.

Will it grow? is there any reason that it might not be doing? Although obviously it is growing from the size it was at birth its way behing the other two, also it has a slight golden/orange hue around its head - apart from that its just like the other two dalmations but a lot smaller.

Thanks

Kaye

Hello

It may just be growing slower than the other 2 cos when they was in the other tank, the other 2 was more dominant and greedy lol and getting mnore food..

Could be its sex? if the other 2 are male and that 1 is female, it may be smaller.
