Ok so Saturday the 26th we woke to find 5 fry in the main tank. Since then they have been caught and we had a known Molly that was pregnant and she was in a net. So 2 nets in my 30gal tank. Well this morning (the 30th) we woke to find she finally gave birth...she had a total of 21 fry by the time she was done but only 15 are still alive.
Because they were all only a few days apart they are now all together. Now what do I do? I have been feeding them at the same times I feed the rest of the tank....basicaly every meal time (3 times a day) I don't feed a whole lot each time for the fry as not all are REALLY up and moving. The 5 older ones are VERY active...and seem to have taught the others what to do at meal time.
Some of the fry have a very black eye and a regular eye..is this normal?
How long till I can let them swim freely in the main tank?
They are in the net with in the main tank right now as they are small and I don't want to move them around too much till they are all swiming better. But how will I know if they are going to make it or not?
