just wanna share with ya'll what i've been anticipating for 2 weeks:

The mother is put it a net in the tank, so when her offsprings come they wont be eaten by other fish (the previous mother and her children werent as lucky cuz i forgot about separating her:

As soon as each offspring is dropped, i scoop it into a separate tank with same water solution (yes they bear youngs, not eggsmokin

I love the joy of life! The first time my molly mama ever babies I went mental with excitment its so cool as well when you breed a fish and keep the offspring and think to yourself, wow, I bred that fish right there!

Very nice pics of the fry, congrats!

Thanks everyone. Any suggestion on what to feed them?

Platy fry can actually eat fine regular flake. I make a mix of regular flake, livebearer, and spirulina; put it in a baggie and mash it with a spoon. Hikari First Bites is also a good fry food.
