My thermometer

ok i have one of the thermometers that go on the outside of the tank (which i just found out yesterday) is that bad i f i have it on the inside cause it is sticking and my fish are as happy as can be

The only problem with external thermometers is that they may be a couple of degrees away from the actual tank temp. Putting it inside isn't a bad idea as long as it was well rinsed and won't break under water pressure.

The stick on thermometers are not as accurate as they claim to be. You should get one that is digital for the most accurate results. I just picked up two more from PetsMart and they were $6.99. If you can't find a digital, get one that suction cups itself to the side of the tank. A last resort would be the stick on kind.

no its one thats like a sticker you know?
and right now my water is at 78 degrees whis is good for my mollies

hopefully i can get them to breed anyone have any tips?

Provided you have the right sexes, all you need to do is wait. Youll be posting here soon about what to do with all the molly fry.

Advice on breeding mollies.....hmm.....have males and females in the tank. That's really about it. We had 4 mollies (2 male and 2 female) that were popping out babies like crazy. Eventually we gave away the mollies beacuse we had way to many babies. They will reproduce on their own. Be sure to have a breeder net or [acronym:66e71efb94="quarantine or quart depending on context"]QT[/acronym:66e71efb94] tank on standby. Once they start, they won't stop.

well i know that i have the right sexes and they were both in the same tank at walmart so they are aquainted so im thinking that they wont breed cause i had to add them at the same time

Regardless of the time you added them, they will still breed. All you need to do is wait. Trust me.

I think everyone missed the initial question...
His stick-on, self-adhesive, external thermometer is stuck on the inside of the tank, internal vs external, and his fish are exsposed to the adhesive.
Correct?
I'd remove it [acronym:ec25cf0628="As soon as possible"]asap[/acronym:ec25cf0628], regardless if the fish seem fine.
Lower the water level, dry the surrounding area well, remove the thermometer with a straight razor *, try to get as much adhesive off as possible by scraping with the blade and be careful when scraping not to let any scrapings of adhesive fall into the water.

******Not a acrylic tank is it? You can scratch those up quick if your not careful. Anyone have input on how to remove adhesive off acrylic?******

As you've already been told...
Mollies, just add water and whammo! More Mollies .
