sorry cant tell
ok So one week yes one week on of my brand new orange curve tail mollys is rather fat ok this morning i wake up to see at least 10 little ones! she gave birth and now im not sure what to do! do i leave them in the tank or do i get a seperate tank and put them in there till there full size cause it seems to be that the black molly and surprisingly the mother are trying to eat some! so please help!
 
It's a personal choice. I leave my fry in the main tank and some survive, some don't. I have java moss for the fry to hide in. I do this as I don't want to become overun with fish. This keeps my tanks balanced.
 
ok thanks i think i mught seperate them scince many have been eaten already and i dont have this moss stuff but i do have a seperate tank so thanks for the advice......Again lol
