Hi! Yesterday I bought a couple of Mollies and put them in a quarantine tank. Turns out one was pregnant and started giving birth today! I didn't know what to do so I put her in my 10 gallon tetra tank for now because there is a big natural plant there and I wanted the babies to have a fighting chance at surviving. I think the Molly has finally stopped giving birth and I'm counting around 9 fry! This is great but I don't know what to do with them!
They seem rather large. I say large because I rescued my buddy Phillip when he was a fry and he was so tiny I couldn't tell what he was when I first got him (he is a Molly though) and these guys are way bigger than Phillip was when he was a fry.
I plan on trying to keep them until they're bigger and might even fully keep one. But if the others reach maturity, what should I do with them? I don't have the room to keep them and also how should I feed them?
Here are some pics of a few who I could easily get a good shot of:
