Hey everyone!
I just thought I'd create a log to show the breeding of mollies and the community interactions in my 20 gallon aquarium. I recently added 6 silver mollies to the bunch so now the tank is stocked as follows: 1 male skirt tetra, 1 female skirt tetra, 1 bleeding heart tetra, 3 male sailfin silver mollies, 3 female sailing silver mollies.
Day 1: 12/26/15
I added the six mollies to the three tetras. I noticed 1 female molly was rounding as a result of being pregnant.
Day 2: 12/27/15
I noticed 2 female mollies were pregnant: 1 starting to round and the other rounded already. I made plans to add 2 female Corydoras and 1 male Corydoras on or about 1/9/16 if I don't have fry at that time.
Day 3: 12/28/15
I noticed all(3) female mollies were pregnant: 1 starting to square and the other two in the rounding process. I planned to postpone the Corydoras if my mollies give birth by then. PH: 6.2 (before water change(it prompted the change))(low due to increased bioload) Changed about 30% of water.
Day 4: 12/29/15
I noticed all(3) female mollies were pregnant: 1 starting to square still and the other two still rounding. PH: 6.4(low due to bioload)(am going to do change on 12/30). Added 1 cup of 1 tbsp salt to 1 gallon water mixture.
I will update day by day. I hope to have fry soon. Any questions/comments just reply and I will address them in at most a few hours. Happy fishkeeping!
