Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi,
I had a good discussion in Saltwater General Discussion about whether to start a SW or FW tank with my 20 gallon, see:
http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=29951
Anyhow, I decided on a FW, and I am currently cycling my tank with (2) mollies and a suckerfish (Placo?). The black Molley looked a little fat, and I said to myself she might be pregnant. Well, I went away overnight, and when I came back, there were like (6) tiny black Mollies swimming around in the tank. (See Pictures). I thought fish laid there eggs and the male spawned over them? Could the red Molley have spawned the Black's eggs? Was she pregnant with fertilized eggs when I bought her (2) weeks ago? The baby fish are black.
Also, and most importantly, I need advice on how to care for them. I was planning on buying several more fish in a couple of weeks when my cycle was complete. However, I worry because somebody might eat them. Please advise because I want to buy a silver angel, a rainbow shark, a jelly bean fish, and a clown loach.
