I woke up this morning to find my molly had 5-6 babies. I have a betta, angelfish,catfish,guppy and a tetra
I noticed the angelfish trying to eat the babies which is to be expected but I have a couple questions

1)providing they survive until i get back from work...what would be the best way to separate them from the other fish? should I get one of those corner dividers? or a breeders net?

2)what should I feed them and how much?

3)do they require fresher cleaner water? if so how often should I change the water?

thanks in advance any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

1 they probably won't urvive
2 they can eat baby brine shrimp, infusoria, finely crushed flake food, liquid fry food ect...
3 a breeding trap is fine... i keep mine in a 4 litre container but you might need a heater
4 i don't think they need fresher water.... feed them 4-6 times a day in small amounts.. if you have them in a container water change everyday...
