My experience with mollies is that they don't seem to bother their own fry, however any other fish that can fit one in their mouth will probably have them for dinner. |

I would increase the feeding intervals so that the babies will grow quicker. Have you plants for the babies to hide in?(preferably in the top part of the tank). The parents are not that aggressive towards there young but could eat a few. Appart from that it will be smooth sailing. Easy as they are to keep going. Keep up your water changes and take care so as to not suck the babies up! Good luck. Looks like you are a successful parent! |

You should know, if you have a male and female together, they'll probably reproduce again shortly...with no assistance from you. ![]() I've got a fever... and the only presc |
