Hello! Excited because I have molly babies in the tank! Bought 6 mollies on Friday, 3 black and 3 gold dust. Unfortunately one of the gold dust mollies died a couple days later. The rest seem to be doing fine. 1 Black Molly male and the rest female.
Yesterday I counted 4 babies among the water sprite plants at the surface, a couple hiding among the roots that shoot back out from the sand. Really wishing i hadn't trimmed these unsightly roots since they are good baby hiding spots.
This morning I only counted 3. Possibly the fourth hiding or didn't survive...
Being in the community tank with minnows, mollies, and cories, do you think these babies have a chance? I have lots of water sprite. How fast do they grow? When are they safe and no longer have to hide? and finally, how often do Mollies have babies?
