How to you feed and care for your newborn baby mollie fry?

My Molly just had babies I was able to capture 3 of them not sure how many she really had, I put those 3 babies by themselves in a breeder tank and feed them crushed baby food. I have another molly that should be having her babies anytime now, Would it be safe to put them in with the other baby mollies from last night?

Answer #1

That is what I was thinking, I took my fry and put them in my better breeding net and moved the mother molly that is about ready to give birth to a smaller tank by herself and she should have the fry sometime tonight, I just need to watch and make sure if she don’t have them by midnight ill just put her back with her tank mates. I lost the little runt from my first batch so hopefully I can keep the other 2 alive. I really want to watch them grow up.

Answer #2

Maybe not because they could try and eat each other?
