Baby Mollies

We have been keeping black mollies for a few months now.  We were very excited when we had baby mollies in a few days they arrived.  We thought mollies are plant eaters and did not separate the babies from the adults.  What a mistake!  Over time all the baby mollies disappeared!  This time we are separating the babies from the adults and hopefully, they will grow to spawn the next generation.  After giving birth to live babies, the mother dies.  So if the baby fishes are eaten up, then we have to keep buying new mollies to replenish our tank.

This time I am keeping the babies in a different tank and will watch their growth progress.  It is nice to have fishes that reproduces in our home.
