First, make sure you have a sponge filter and not a power filter so they dont get sucked up. Also, set the heater for 78-82 degrees, feed powdered flake food. Montior the water quality and make sure everything is fine.

Go get some baby fish food. It is a powder that they can get their tiny mouths around. How awesome! Congrats! I miss my fish tank!If you cant find any ( this is a pet shop only product ) you can grind up a flake and make it a powder just make usre you have no lotion or soap etc on your hands. Dont give them but the tiniest amount so they dont pollute their water.

No, i does no longer recommend it.. as quickly as I had my molly toddlers (60) I stored them in a breeding internet for 2 reasons. one million- they could get eaten via the different mollies, 2- the clear out could suck them up. placed them in a breeding internet for good now, yet after a pair weeks or a month, you ought to placed them in a appropriate tank, even though it ought to be diverse from the grownup tank. you ought to use a bowl, or a huge empty vase.

Cool. I used to have mollies and they always had babies. I just crushed up fish flakes into powder. And they did fine. Enjoy them.

look after them and make sure the other fish don`t eat them or put the fish and the babies into a separate tank to they are old enough to be with the other fish

Keep them in separate tank as bigger fish will eat them.Get some special food for fry from vets or pet shop.My guppy had babies last week and they are doing great.

You will need to feed the babies with milk from a very tiny bottle. The bottle only holds a pin drop of milk, so you will need to refill often. Test milk temp on your eyeball. Feed babies 17 times a day.
