I'm going out of town tomorrow morning until Saturday, but I have five Molly fry to attend to. They're only six days old, and are feeding on "Small Fry" liquid livebearer food. Is there anything I can do to feed the fry while I'm gone or will they be fine by themselves? Please, I need an answer quickly!!!

Is there anyway to get someone to feed them? That would be the best option. The other option is live plants; if you buy a bunch of java moss there is a good chance they will survive.

It's very difficult to keep 6 day old fry alive without food for 6 days, but as Hooktor said, some live plants might save the fry or else, get somebody to feed them.

A clump of java moss will help. And see if you can't move something in that tank with some algae on it. They will nibble on the algae when they are hungry.
