over the last few days my only mollie fry (harry) was trying to get out of his net breeder and he was now
2 months old i thaught he was old enough to put into the tank i was wrong i netted him and put him
next to a group of live plants e didt stay there and wont towards the surface wher my giant danios were they chased after him and he nearly go eaten i couldnt see him so i assumed he was eaten i was realy sad
then 10 minites later a saw him near the filterbut te danios were trying to get him the mollies werent botherd
but then he dissapeared i think he is now eaten
e was my only and first fry

you never know, fry are really good at hiding

 

[lilfishie]

very true, if he has gone sorry for your loss, just keep an eye out just in case

 

[zarebskifish]

thanks kewskills ive just looked inside the filter anyway

lilfishy any pregnant guppys get

 

[lilfishie]

only the one but she only has 4/5 fry so i end up keeping all them, will have to get some more females going

 

[zarebskifish]

lilfishy my mollies are mateing all the time but none of them are expending or look like their pregnant should i just get more females to spread the hassle more?

 

[lilfishie]

how many male/female do you have and how long have you had them?

 

[zarebskifish]

only the silver mollies are mating thets 3 males and 4 females
yep im going to definately get some more females how many do you think?
i think i should have 10 females and 2 more male silver mollies
and sell my danios back to the store the danios have the most vibrant colours much better than
when i baught them ill post a pic at quartre past 9 ok

 

[lilfishie]

do you have any other mollies in there?

 

[zarebskifish]

4 marbled mollies but there not mating

 

[lilfishie]

the females could be in the early stage therefore the males will no bother trying to mate with them, give them a few weeks see if theres any change

 

[zarebskifish]

sorry i couldt put up the pic they were to fast and the shots were blurred
but anyway i traded them in for 5 sword tails 1 is heavily pregnant so hopefully.....
the marbled mollies look as old as the silver mollies though found one more fry but it got eaten by the giant danios
i did like the giant danios but they keep eating all my fry
ill get some pics of all my fish sometime
