Babie Mollie

[bally]

hi, several weeks agi my mollie give birth to about 10 babies, we lost 7 but have 3 left. One is huge and been put back in main tank, an other is not as big but back in main tank as it is big enough to survive. However the 3rd is still so small, its in the breeding tank all alone. Not sure if it will ever get any bigger. If it was a runt it would have be killed in the wild i think.

Should i release it in to the main tank and let it take it chances or allow it more time in the breed tank?

thank you in advance

fry need super clean water and good nutrition to grow well, you may find that when the remaining fry is left in the tank by itself with no competition for food he has a bit of a growth spurt and gets up to size.

the babie has been bu itself in there for 3 weeks now, and i lift out the breeding tank every other day so the water and waste are dragged into the main tank
