New Babies!!!!!!
 Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my excitement of the new additions to my aquarium. My Black Molly just gave birth to about 25 babies (at least that is the number I saw) unfortunately I also now have two fat pica catfish that seemed to overly enjoy welcoming the new babies that they swolled them right up. So I was only able to save two that I put in a small tank for now. I have one question though, how big should they get before I am able to give them regular flake food and live brine shrimp? Thanks in advance.

Congrats on the new additions to the 'family'. Baby mollies can usually take powdered flake food as soon as they're born. Just take some regular flake and crush it into a fine powder between your fingers. Live brine shrimp (adults) are too big for the little monsters at this point but if you happen to have baby brine shrimp handy (live or frozen) then your little mollies will be more than happy to take them.
