Molly Fry

[katykaye]

I have 4 molly fry who are now 2 weeks old but they still seem pretty small to me?

How long before I can let them back in the tank with my other fish (stocking below)

Molly fry seem to go through growth spurts and then seem to stop growing for short periods in the first few months, at least mine have. Mine are 5 months old now and are about 1 3/4 inches long and very full bodied. With the other stock in your tank you should be able to put them in fairly soon, let them get to 3/4 inch long and they will be fine. To encourage them to grow quickly do very large frequent water changes (say 50 % twice a week) and feed on fry growth food 4 or 5 times a day like liquifry growth food. They will be big enough in no time!
