 | molly fry |
james747  Banned Posts: 232 Kudos: 203 Votes: 14 Registered: 03-Jan-2004   | I have 2 molly fry in a nursery net in my main tank. They would be about 4-5cm in length. How big should they be before I let them out. Fish include mollies, gouramis, black widow tetra's clown loach, red-eye tetra's just to name the larger fish. |

Or are they 4-5 mm?. http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |
