So Im doing a PWC on my QT and I find 3 little fry in my bucket of old water. Looking closer in the tank I see a few more skulking about. I picked up a female molly a week or so ago and she mustve been pregnant as there are no male mollies in there with her.
I managed to catch a 4th and put them in a mason jar, since I wasnt prepared for any fry. After almost no thought at all, I decided that they might make a nice meal for my main tank... which contains another molly and a school of serpae tetras.
I think 2-3 of them managed to make it to safety, but I know for sure that the molly managed to catch one. Within a minute he began swimming funny. Is this because he has a live fry inside him or was feeding him a fry a big mistake and now he's going to die? Also, one of the serpaes is acting a little funny too, so he may have caught one too.
There are at least 2 more fry in the QT. What should I do with them if I can catch them?
