My dalmation molly finally had her fry

Madam Macaw · 02-29-2008, 07:19 AM

I didn’t have time to download the fry pictures last night but here are the proud momma and poppa. She had about 35-40 last night

Rocky – the dad

Momma – who has yet to be named (son want’s to). This was her almost 2 weeks ago:

This is the platinum one that is still pregnant, not a good pic but you can see how big she is:

I moved the black and platinum one into the big 55 gallon tank. There is alot of plants in there, plus I added some fake floating ones for when she has the fry. My 10 gallon is now housing all of the fry and the two small clown plecos. I can't believe how much bigger the molly fry are when they are born compared to the sword fry. I will post pictures tonight or tomorrow.

Oh, and from the looks of it - there is one really light one, one really dark one and the rest look brown - so I can't wait to see the markings that come out on them. I am one excited grandma!!!

Hahah great job.
My guppy just had fry to but the parents dont eat them. The fry swm right beside them when they are eating.

Even though I don't think she ate any at all since they are about 35-40, I didn't want to take the chance and had the 10 gallon there anyways. They are so adorable! Hopefully, I will get the pics up tomorrow.
