1 gal for fry

[cassandra]

i bought a one gal tank for when i get fry but i need a heater i guess? thats what everyone is saying to keep the fry alive. but is there any heater for that size of a tank?

You'll need bigger then a 1 gallon for your fry. They'll get stunted and die. You need at least a 5 gallon but I would go with a 10 gallon. Couldn't tell you what watt you could get. Good Luck,

well i got 1 gal because my mollies only have 1 to 3 fry a time will they still die and do i need a heater for my fry?? and is there for that size of a tank

Yes, even with that amount, they'll still get stunted for some strange reason. I used to have a hospital tank for fry. I heated it with a light during the day and at night, I made sure the room had a space heater in it so the temp would be maintained right. There are heaters for 2 gallon tanks at Wal Mart. They're 7 bucks I think. I've never used them because I only needed a heater for a 1 gallon only once. But you could try those. Good Luck.
