So today one of my balloon mollys gave birth to a second batch and this I was able to see it which was REALLY cool to see live bearers give birth. anyway I now I have 25 to 30 fry in a small fry net box. Granted 5 are 1 week old and
20 to 25 are 1 day old but how long until I find another setup? If I get small tank do they need a filter? Ugh now I have 30 babies lol:confused:
 
i have a 10g set-up for all of my baby livebearers, and it works quite well.
yes, set it up as you would a normal tank.
don't worry about the babies getting sucked into the filter if it's a low-power, they have a pretty good sense about themselves.
also keep in mind that you WILL have a few deaths no matter what, that's just nature for you.
if you plan on keeping the babies, don't put them back in the main tank until they have reached at least half an inch

BEST OF LUCK! :)
