well i now have the 40inch tank running cycled with all fish moved into it[used part filter and water and gravel from 24 inch] the 24 was to become the breeding tank for my gouramis,i was going to have a go anyway..but the last new fish we bought for the smaller tank were a pair of sailfin mollies,my husband fell in love with them, he loves silver white fish.they were moved to the bigger tankfirst with a pair of leopard danios to help the cycle.,but now all plans are put on hold.i must admit getting the mollies was against my better judgement ,but we are now the proud parents of 8 babies ,and i'm sure more to come, mother and baby mollies are now occupants of the small tank..but how come i have 4 white , and four dark or speckled babies, i have had the parents for 7 week and they are both silver white.. anyone know thanks jackie
