ok heres a pic of my mum molly (white)
dad molly (black)
5 fry in net now in a seperate tank with another i found

oliesminis · 05-07-2007, 03:01 PM

also how often should i feed them.

i am currently feeding crushed flake and granuals 3-4 times a day they look good in a tank by themselves

any suggestions on something to put in with them that will eat rubbish but not them. i was thinking about a golden apple snail mabe

3-4 times a day is fine. Let them stay in the net until they can be moved back with the parents.

or a very small plecostamus. that'll eat the algae & stuff.

swordtailbreedr · 05-07-2007, 09:20 PM

putting a pleco in a breeder net may not work so well

oliesminis · 05-08-2007, 12:55 AM

the 5 are now in another tank with another i found that had survived that long any ideas on something to go with them in a tank L50-W25-D30 cm that wont eat them or get to big. ( i dont want anything massive as i am going to have lots of them)

the snail idea will work well, i believe... but the best way to keep your tank clean is to feed them very small amount of food 3 - 4 times daily, it would help a lot if you feed them ocassionally live food like brine shrimps or daphnia twice weekly. hope this helped.

hey i would love to feed them brine shrimp but right now i am a bit short of cash. i do feed them minimal amount and it has a good sponge filter which happily manages the other tank with lots of fish so it should be ok

oliesminis · 05-08-2007, 09:58 AM

hey heres a video of both tanks

Possibly from putting them in a different tank...how did you acclimate them? Parameters?

oliesminis · 05-09-2007, 11:21 AM

ammonia 0 n
nitrite 0
nitrate 10
ph same as other tank

got them in bag and slowly swapped them

i think the filter had something to do with it as 2 of them were in it

tank is now sitting dormant while waiting for next batch
