	mollies everywhere
divertran Fish Addict Posts: 784 Kudos: 469 Votes: 165 Registered: 14-Nov-2004	are there any water conditions where my black mollies won't breed so much? Now they're in a 10 gal tank with neutral pH at 78 degrees.

Perhaps you could put a fish in that would eat fry with them? A dwarf gourami would work well. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames

divertran Fish Addict Posts: 784 Kudos: 469 Votes: 165 Registered: 14-Nov-2004	Yay, lol. actually, I had them in a tank with a dwarf pleco, h. rasboras and two dwarf gouramis and they all left the fry alone. at least I never saw them messin with the fry. But the the big tank has large (1" polished stone) substrate so the fry had lots of places to go. Actually, I was finding new fry for 5 weeks after she had them. This is her fourth litter since I got her.
