So I am talking to my wonderful girlfriend on the phone at the moment. I was lying in bed and took a gander up at my fishy tank.. and what to my eyes, I saw FRY! That's right, fry! I rubbed my eyes thinking it was just a strategically-placed rock evilly-schemed by the mollies. But sure enough, it was a molly fry. I got up to my feet quickly and looked around in the tank excitedly! There were many other fry swimming along the sand. Now for my question...

Should I temporarily relocate them to another tank. Or can I keep them in the same tank with the 4 molly (1 aggressive one) and 2 zebra danios. The tank is planted with natural plants and has a sand floor. Is this safe or should I keep them in a nursing box thingy or tank?

Thanks


Also, what do molly fry eat and how should I administer the food?

Congrats!
I don't have live bearers but several members have grow out tanks that they move their fry to otherwise they face the risk of being eaten.
I'm not sure about the food, I know you can buy fry food.

congrats on the fry! i'd move them if you can, that way you can monitor them, keep the tank pristine, and make sure they don't get eaten!

you can feed them microworms, crushed up flake food, infusoria, and others that are slipping my mind right now others that breed should have more info for you

Congrats on the new babies!!! When I had baby swordtails, I kept them in a breeder net and fed them crushed flake food. When they got to be about 3/4 inch I put them back into the main tank
