Fish Fanatic
Hi, my mollie is giving birth now, but is eating her babies, is this normal?? She is separated in a tank, should I move her out as soon as she has given birth
Well you probably made the best choice with going with the breeder trap. It really saves alot of babies. About the other fish trying to eat the babies, it is reccomended that the female livebearer be moved to another tank so she does not have to deal with being stress from the other fish trying to eat the fry. But if you dont have another tank do what I do and turn off the lights of the tank. The other fishes dont really see the fry and leave them alone. Hopefully you move them into their own tank as they will need more room to grow properly. Good luck with your fry
