Too Many Mollies!

[lfb]

I foolishly bought two dalmatian (marbled?) mollies which were supposed to be the same sex. You can tell what's coming, right? So, now a few months on I have three lots of babies (about 20 altogther survived) - way too many for my tank. I tried to let nature take its course but because the tank is heavily planted, lots weren't eaten. My plan is to set up an old tank and separate males and females. Will that work? Can an all male group live together? The LFS won't take babies back and I can't possibly kill them. Any ideas?

hi,
how about the sell swap section on tff, or put an add in your local paper free to good home.
once a female has had fry she will have enough sperm inside her to have fry for up to seven more batches,
so keeping her apart wont make any difference untill the sperm runs out.
if you have a big enough tank im sure all males would work. all the best donna

Perhaps they are both females and one was already pregnant when u bought her??
