Hi. Today on the way to work saw a few baby fry in my 45 gallon community tank (planted). Bought a breeder net on the way home, but then didnt see any fry except one, which was then eaten by my betta in one gulp.
My friend told me these fish give birth every month. So I am thinking (today Sep 19) around Oct 16 I would put any pregnant molly in the breeding net. This is a floating two stage glass thing, which has a fry level.
Can anyone tell me if this is right? Will it stress the molly? If i then put the molly out of the net and continue to feed the fry (letting it remain in the net) is that OK?
Thanks.
My tank: 45 g 2 irid shark, 1 batta, 2 angels. 8 assorted betta, platies and sword tails (mostly female), amazon sword, three giant hygro, 1 moneywort, well cycled, marineland 400 dual biowheel filter, heater.
