Balloon Molly Breeding - Help

[chickennuggets123]

Hey, my female balloon molly has just given birth to 4 babies. (i couldnt find any others) And I've put them in a breeding trap.
What do I feed them on?
Will the mother eat them. if I put her with them?

And I think my other female might also be pregnant....
But how can i tell if they are? Because balloon mollies are meant to be round anyway.
Cos she looks quite fat...

Ta


Any other advice on balloon mollies in general is great!


(and I bought the mollies 2 days ago, so she was already pregnant when I bought her- I didnt know)

give me a photo of your other ballon mollies and i will be able to tell if they are pregnant

Most livebearers are pregnant all the time, so it's safe to assume your others are too.

But will the mum eat the babies?
I already have a few babies in the trap, and I think another female will drop any day now.
So if I put that female in, will she eat the other babies?

yes she will but if she is in the trap the fry will fall down and stay there>
