Molly Questions

[nepenthes_ak]

My tank has a Molly, one im almost sure is Pregnant (it is tough to tell cause its well... A baloon Belly Molly!) And was wondering Should I put the Babby mollys in a breeding net with the Some guppy fry? (My Guppys just gave birth recently)

And was wondering. if my questions are to random sorry ill try to fix it later im really out of it.

Cheers

Mollies don't really eat their own babies. I, personally, don't do "breed nets"... I just put some floating plants in there, or java moss if I want them to have a place to hide. My betta won't even eat baby guppies for some reason.

My guppys eat my fry thats why im worried

cheers

Molly babies are significantly larger than those of guppies, platties, and swordtails. Not to worry and you can do as E.S. suggested.

(Not actual size)

Guppy fry: (...)
Molly fry: (......)

Way too big to fit into a guppy mouth.
