My Molly Fish Had Babies Help

So I got 6 rosy barbs, 7 prestella tetras and 2 female mollys and 1 male molly, one of my female molly just gave birth, should I move the fry to a 10 gallon tank so should I keep them in a breeder box in the same tank?

 

Either one is fine so long as your 10 is cycled and heated

Okayy I will keep them in a breedee n the 55 gallon, can I still do water changes? After how long ? And how much percent? I usally do 50% water changes

 

move them to your other tank as your breeder box isn't to good for keeping fry in as they can get out but feed the young small feeds 5 times a day start with baby brine shrimp then crushed flake food and do regular water changes the fry will grow fast

How much percent water change? And do I do water changes every day?

 

Molly fry don't need to eat 5x a day. I always just let them stay in my main tank and two or three usually make it without getting eaten. I do have algae growing a little bit and they are algae grazers. But they ate twice a day like the rest of the tank and they were fat little cuties that grew fast.

 

I would do a 5% water change every second day and keep the water temp at 24

 

I put mine (the ones I can catch ) in a 5 gallon planted tank.
Mine eat crumbled regular flake food twice a day.
They love to nibble on Pisces algae wafers and steamed spinach and zucchinI even from day one. The young ones like their zucchinI well cooked and soft. Snails love it too

My ambient daytime temp. is 26+ degrees atm, so to avoid fluctuations at night, I set the heater to 26.
I do weekly 25% water changes, as with adults. If the water parameters change I increase the water changes.

 

I agree you don’t have to feed them 5 times a day. I would feed them twice a day, frozen brine shrimp or crushed flake food. As for water changes if you would like to do daily water changes just keep them small since you’re not worried about the bioload but instead of the hormone they release. How many CG do you have? Mollies are hardy fish you could probably just do 10% every two days

 

u don't have to feed them 5 times a day but if u want to grow them up fast for selling it helps
