Want to get 1inch jewel cichlid fry-only 2 left for sale so need to collect ASAP. Won't have large cichld tank ready for 2-3 weeks till cycled. I know adult cichlids are very aggressive but can I put put these jewel fry temporarily in community tank with adult mollies and young 1.5 inch swordtails? Other alternative is to house in fry tank with molly fry just over an inch long. Don't want to harm existing fish or risk new fry being bullied by adult full grown black mollies.
 
iv got my jewel young in a tank with fully grown malawi`s and they aint bothered at all,

just to let you no, if you need any more jewel young im selling quite a few, all 1cm to inch long
 
Typically cichlids don't get aggressive until they reach sexual maturity so i'd say either tank would be ok for the 2-3 weeks you need. :good:
