New Tank And Babies Already - Help!

[Emma Victoria]

Help! I've got aten day old tank, introduced 3 dalamtion mollies (1 male and 2 female) last Sunday and I've now got babies. What do I feed them/ will they be eaten?

You can specilaised drops from a simple pet shop for baby fish. i used them for my baby swordtails, before they went onto flakes at months old.

And most probibly yes, they will be eaten.

ho ho. liquified food easily available. You can buy a nursery net ( a travel cot for fish!) or some very dense, short artificial plant for the bottom of your tank for the fry to hide in. You will also probably find some in your filter media too. If you do try to save them it will only all happen again in 3 weeks or so. Best policy....those that will survive do and those that don't...well life's a b***h. Best to cut down food at these times too

I have used Liquid Fry and finely crushed flake food. At the 2 week mark I start feeding them Daphina. Breeding nets are good too, but I usually just have some floating plants in the tank. Breeding nets get really dirty when feeding in them.
