    premature molly fry

    My molly prematurely dropped her fry. Most of them were eggs or way under developed, but one or two made it out okay. There a are a few that I didn't think would last the night (they're able to swim, but they look under developed...their abdomens are clear and I can see their hearts beating)...

    Do I need more platies?

    Hi! I'm very new at aquariums...I'm a college student, and I thought a freshwater aquarium would be a great way to make life a little more enjoyable. The tank has been doing well for over a month now, and currently I have three adult female mollies, a baby molly (gender not known yet), a Julii...
