babies! now if i can get them to last...

[arrynyo]

luckily i have some babies i discovered in my tank today! its a mixed bag this time both platy and molly. i know who the mamas are thankfully and i removed the ones i could catch and i got pics up. my only issue is every time i move them to the nursery tank they always die. i dont want to leave them in with the gigantic black male molly and the others because they will be a snack. there is 18 total that i captured and im sure theres more and i got pics up too

Try one of those breeder boxes. They're not ideal, but they can work.

Are you acclimating the fry to the nursery tank?

 

[arrynyo]

yeah i did that for 2 hours on sunday they seem to be doing fine (so far)

is the new tank cycled? do you do water changes often? a good idea is to get like moss in the tank so the fry have a place to hide. this way you dont become over populated.
