ok so i was setting up a 5gallon tank i got from my moms garage.. just wanted another tank no real reason... i get it set up all but a filter, took water from my 20 gallon so its ready right now.. and then i go and look at the tank after i filled it up with water again.. then i notice my molly goin up and down like crazy.. then i remembered something on the forums here and thought she might be giving birth.. so i get her in the net and 4 pop out...for the first i though she was pooping but it came out to fast then im like kool... a baby.. now i have the female molly with 4 fry in the 5gallon in the kitchen on the counter ((going to move when i find a place... it was a spur of the moment thing.. kinda like road trips XD)) Oh ya and a small common pleco i bought today.. i was going to replace it with the big one in my 20g.. but i guess not.
Some how i got lost in the post... a WTF moment.. ok so my question is will the female molly eat the babies... and what do i feed them?? i read crushed flakes... im asking cuz a few months ago i had two female mollies give birth like on the same day.. some many little guys.. like 12 and i have 4.. i think the others got eaten this time around... oh ya any pointers will be helpful
oh ya the filter im looking at is at walmart and it just sticks to the side of the tank
is it good?? as a side question XD
