More fry!! Not sure what they are

[Elisabeth83]

My Balloon Molly gave birth to about 20 little ones the other day and then the day before yesterday I was doing a gavel vac in my 30 gallon with my swordies and platies and I saw something move across the bottom of the tank. Well it was a tiny fry I ended up finding 7 but I'm not even sure who they belong to

Guess I will just have to wait and see

I dont even have room for all these fry What to do..What to do

You could sell them to your local fish store (a good one) maybe the one you got your fish from.

I'd hazard a guess they might have come from one of your new pretty platys!

 

[Elisabeth83]

Yeah I am kinda hoping they are from one of my new platies Right now I'm fully stocked in my 30 gallon so I'm at a crossroads as to what I'm going to do. I want to be able to keep some of the fry I raise I'm in negotiations with my boyfriend about buying a bigger tank...maybe a 55 gallon

Hey if you're negotiating - go for a 75 gallon. My 55 is 48" L x 12.5" W X 21" D. You can get a 75 gallon (tall) that is 48" L x 18" W x 21" D. That extra 6" of width gives you a lot more surface area which equals more fishies! Then you can fill it up with black swordies and blue platys (can you tell which of your fish I like the best?).

no dont sell them at a local fish store they'll just feed them to the other fish

When they get big, give them to your relatives or neighbors or something.
