What do you mean by stuff? Plants?

I have various different plants in my tank (I'm not a planty person and always forget the names). With rock and a few hiding spaces. This is also for the other fish too. I have a piece of bog wood in there too.

Ok thanks for the reply, what kind of other fish and do they still breed? also what size is your tank? Thanks.

I have a 350ltr with a pakistani loach, 6 peppered corys, a common plec who will be re-homed soon, an angel, a red tail black shark, two very small bala shark who are also to be re-homed, and a krib, whose about 3inches.

Have a 250 ltr with two golden severums (the ones with the vertical lines) and two very small oscars. When I say vey small they're around two inches, I was given the oscars but really need another tank for them as they grow big.

The other tank is a 100ltr, I don't really want this tank as I'm trying to move away for the livebearers, this has plattys and mollys, along with 60+ molly fry and more platty fry. Its really too much.

Nice your tanks are alot bigger than mine do you keep the molly fry in the same tank as the parents/other fish? And do let them just give birth naturally or do you put the Female into a breeder? Thanks.

I have the adult fish in the 350ltr, when the mollys look like they're about to give birth I move them to the 100ltr and let them have them in there. The only reason why I have the fry now is because I had the adults in the main tank and thought they were still pregnant, they had obviously had the fry and were ate by something and were pregnant again. I didn't think they'd had the time to mate again so I put them into the 100ltr (females only) to stop them breeding. They had them in there, that's now my problem.

Well, you're tanks are alot bigger than mine, And i dont have the tank space to move my mollies, There kept in an 120ltr with 3 angels (medium size) If they did have babies id move the female in to a breeder while she gives birth and then divide the tank for the babies until they got a bit bigger and could survive with the other fish. Would this be ok? Thanks for the reply.
