CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

So the black mollie that I have had since I first bought my tank setup is pregnant I think. She seems bigger than usual, and just a little more bloated looking. She's got a crazy appetite and lingers around my other mollie, who is substantially smaller. If she is pregnant, what should I do about the fry? I don't have the money or the space to buy another tank right now, but keeping a few of them would be cool.

well if you don't want to buy another tank don't do anything, just let her have her babies and the bigger fish (herself included) will eat all the fry, if you do want to keep some it would be hard without a growout tank, mabe some java moss for them to hide in when they come out and a tank divider to give them their own lil part of the tank to grow out in

well, one of my guppy fry survived just living in the tank, and there was a crab in there at the time, too. I think I have faith in the little guys, actually. I'll pick up some suitable plants for them to hang out in and see how it goes.

Thanks for the advice.
