hi there just wanted to say that i have mollies in with a gourami and they are fine together. A lot of mollies are now bred in captivity and not all need salt water , some live quite happily without salt added. Your best bet is to ask the breeder or place where you get the mollies from they...

:unsure: about 23 galls i think, well i have a 46 gallon community tank and the other tank is about half the size in length but roughly the same width / depth etc. so i think thats about right. since starting this topic my mollies have been at it again and its now home to 40-50 fry ( all doing...

fish do get stressed if you move them often and sometimes this will cause females to abort there babies and /or reabsorb them so to speak, so maybe it could also prevent them from breeding at all, just a thought but maybe you should leave them to it for a bit and they may calm down and do it all...

:cool: congrats on your mollie fry, my mollie has also just gave birth to about thirty little ones. the fry will eat flake food now if its small enough. put some in a plastic bag and rub it between your fingers,till its like powder then away you go. Its difficult to say what colour your babies...

Hi there, Im far from being an expert on fish breeding, but for what its worth i can pass on the little info ive found out from various scources. You dont say if your tank has lots of plants and or hiding places for any possible fry( as im sure you know guppies are cannabalistic and will eat the...

hi and thanks to all for the advice. My tank is two foot by the way. The problem in the tank is keeping down the algae. I also havent heard of otto plecos, but im in england so maybe we dont get um here. My big catfish gets algae disks to eat (the kind made for bottem eaters), but he also goes...

:rolleyes: I think that its best to have a seperate tank, well planted up. Last week I found a baby tetra swimming around with my three mollies, ( dont know how it got in there) but i think if the fry are healthy some will survive , probably more. in a tank.
