I'm Confused?

[dawsonkid]

So here is the dealo, i have a 55 gallon tank, 5 red eye tetras, a trio of lyre-tail mollies, a reed fish and a African Brown Knife. The ratio of mollies is 1M 2F, both females and both prego. The one had ONE baby, and is still HUGE! what is the deal? is it natural or is something wrong? Please help?

 

[dawsonkid]

OH! AND how long is it before my one little fish gets color? hes like a pale white an dsee-thought color?

Are you sure they only had one? I have had mollies eat their babies many times. Somethimes i would have 20 or so and then they were all gone a few minutes later. Also, they can easily be sucked up the intake tubes from power filters.

Im bettin the knife had a good meal and you only saw one baby left.

Well the brown knife and the intake tube where on the other side of the tank. and i looked and never found any thing. i looked in the filiter too.

If another fish or your filter got them, then you wouldn't find anything.

Watch for fry-shaped turds when you gravel vac this weekend.

You may have to look closely at the bottom of your tank. Fry blend in very will with almost any substrate..........
