Well I got some females for the Mollies last night. One quite pregnant Dalmatian and one Black Molly. I also picked up 2 Chinese Algae Eaters, don't know what sex they are. Man was the guy at the LPS very rough. He was smacking the rock decor around the tank so hard I thought he was going to squash a fish! He went to bag them up and held the top of the bag and spun the bottom with the fish in it around. He also grabbed a cichlid by mistake when he was scooping them out and I didn't see what kind it was but he said that I didn't want that one cause it would eat my Mollies? Is that normally possible?
Well anyways, I am going out of town for 3 days. Is it ok to just leave the pregnant Molly in with the rest of the fish (3 platy's and 3 mollies)? I don't have a breeder box or tank yet. It would be nice to have some fry but if not out of this batch I won't be too broken up.
It's funny, it looks like my Calico (M) Platy is kind of protecting her from my other two male Mollies by chasing them away. Is that correct or is he trying to be her special man?
