That's what I thought because I did get them from the mixed tropical tank , they have a tail like a guppy but upper body like a Molly

my kribs have just spawned for the first time, they have laid in a pipe. Do I leave them there or move the eggs to my nursery tank.

Move the hole pipe to your nursery, then you'll not disturb or damage the eggs, you might well of meant that sorry if it came across I'm trying to teach you to suck eggs.

Okay scrap what I said, the parents will protect the babies with their lives. What other fish do you have in there with them? If you move them the parents will eat the fry/eggs due to stress. Sorry I was wrong I got my fish mixed up. I am sorry. I hope you see this before moving the fish!

When will my white molly give birth? Also, when should I put her in my breeder box and what do I feed the newborn fry?

It won't be long she looks big. I never put mine in the breeder to give birth, but I know a lot of people do, I let them give birth then sweep up the babies with a net into the breeder. I do loose some fry but it's more natural that way. I would say in a couple of days. But make sure she is not in there for more then 3-4 days due to stressing her out and she might die. You can feed the flake just grind them into a powered in your fingers. Or you can buy a liquid fry food for live bearers from your pet store

Ok, this time I'll try your way Thank you so much and sorry for not responding, my internet is pretty bad here. Will they be able to eat mini pellets? They're pretty tiny but sometimes my adults have to spit them out. I don't have flakes so I think I'll go get the liquid fry food. What would you recommend for molly fry? I'm not sure if my net is large enough for the babies to fall through. I'll post a picture of it in a bit.

You answered your own question with the pellets. The reason for flakes is because you can crush them into pretty much dust which the fry will still spit out as it will be to large but the manage eventually. I'm in the uk and you man not get the same food as me but I use liquifry No2. For live bearers.

I use this about 3-4 times a day.

As for the net it might be worth picking up a small one. I have fine netted nets just one larger because I always find some time if you have large hole in it fins some times get caught so as standard I only have fine nets.



I don't know if you can see how fine it is.

It is pretty fine! How small are the holes exactly? I might ask my mom to get it so I need to know the size


Namirah?Canadian, Eh??

 

[sidgolding]

Erm is small a good enough measurement lol? If you sent your mum to the pet store and told her to pick the net with smallest holes that would be perfect to be honest. Or just ask the people that work there. I take your only young? It's good to hear young people being passionate about fish
