Dalmation Molly Fry

[Tseros7768]

Six days ago, my female dalmation lyretail molly gave birth to 60 fry! I was amazed at the ammount. My question is when will i start noticing them grow? Is it possible to watch my remaining 53 fry eat the ground up flakes? I haven't seen them eat yet...
Thanks

Firstly, you may get more help in the breeding section of FW. Just an FYI, why you aren't getting responses.

A little googling produced this: Keeping and Breeding Black Mollies

What else is in the tank? The Molly mommy will eat her fry, plus almost any other fish in the tank will, as well.

Edit: If you only lost 3 over a 5 day period you are doing pretty well, for raising them in what I assume to be a community tank.

Grind up the flakes REALLY small, and make sure they have lots of places to hide.
