Forgot to mention congrats on the fry, watch water stats as that liuidfry stuff sooner messes the water up

Hello,

Be sure and read the new baby fish sub-FAQ! You'll probably find it useful. As Annastasia pointed out when I was writing it, the trick is to feed the baby fish frequently, at least 4 times per day, preferably 6. Of course, you don't want to overfeed and pollute the aquarium.

With mollies, the babies are pretty big, so you have a lot of flexibility when it comes to feeding. They should handle algae and finely ground flake from the get-go, and I can't imagine daphnia will pose a threat at all. After a week or two, invest in some frozen bloodworms -- they're an excellent food for conditioning and fattening up fish.

Cheers,

Neale
