that is way to many fish for a 2 gallon tank! the rule is one gallon of water per inch of fish! u should also get the momma and daddy away from teh young cause da might eatem!

I've gotta get myself some mollies.....dalmation and black are my fave

 

[ScoutCarcer]

They need atleast a ten gallon. 2 Gallons are good for bettas.

 

[afireinside]

i think u wont need any breeder net or anything there are hiding spaces in there

A 2gallon tank is too small for all of your fish apart from the shrimp, mollys and algae eaters need a 10gallon minimum. Molly fry take a year to mature but you don't even have the space to raise them anyways. I seriously suggest you upgrade your tank to a 10gallon minimum, 2gallon tanks are only good for bettas, shrimp and snails and nothing else .

HEY ALL I BOUTH A 55 GALLON TANK FOR MY BABYS AND I DID NOT PUT THEM IN YET I NEED TO CLEAN IT THEN LET SET THEN PUT MY BABYS IN !!!!

Congrats on the new tank but you need to cycle it before you can put any fish in otherwise they'll die, you can read up more on cycling a tank and how to do it in the beginners section in the pinned articles

 

[afireinside]

or, u could buy pre cycled material, goes faster, tank can be cycled in about six days.

sad time
tank fixed whaiting for it to be ready and today i seen my sunset platy floating on top ! i went to go clean up then my mom seen him and flushed him !!! i was going to berry him but she fushed him i changed the water in the 2 galllon i took out like 25 % and put 25% new water do you think something wrong do you think it was over crouded or was it that the female was picking on him im confused ??

 

[Annastasia]

If you have all the fish you had in there before, it is most likely he died from bad water conditions due to overstocking. The female MIGHT have been picking on him, because they are all crowded together, but I doubt that. He also might have had a disease.

But I'm betting the overstocking problem.
