After my convicts have been together for a month.. They have fry +-30 babys. My sailfin mollys decided to give birth today as well. +-20fish. My convicts are alone in their 70L tank and my sailfin mollys are in a 100L tank with plecos, 4 red eyed tetra, 6 glowlights and 3 sailfin mollys. What should I do, feed them?? ETC.
This the first time any of my fish have bred.PLEASE help... I have a guppy breeding box if that will help.

cons are fine the guppies, unless they have a ton of hiding spots, will probably be a meal ...so you may want to put them in a breeder box to be safe

Ok. Do you know how long it will take them to grow so that they can eat flake food(young adults) mollys and the convicts. And what should I feed them until that??

Shawnie

mine all eat decapsulated brine shrimp eggs and crushed omega one flakes for a few weeks then they eat frozen baby brine shrimp and bloodworms

ATKINSON

How long does it take until my convict babies will grow to fish where you can notice that they are actually convicts. I have seen that my mollys are actually growing alot. I have had them for about 2 weeks.

I love this subject! I too bread Convicts at one time. Was the most awesome experience. I used a clear tube so I could watch. After about 4 weeks (sometimes sooner) I was able to easily tell what they were.
I just loved watching what good parents Convicts are, but as soon as the babes are big enough, move em. Competition begins!!
Good Luck and have fun!!!

Haha, thanks.
