new black mollie offsprings

[magnosis]

Woot! I've had my tank since January, and bought 2 black mollies about 4 weeks ago.

During WC today I spotted about 15 of the little guys   How fast do they reproduce and how many offsprings can I expect per cycle ?

Cheers.

If the water is good and the fish are happy, you can expect babies once a month...  the number depends greatly but based on my experience, you can expect around 15-20 that will be healthy enough to survive

Wow!  Congratulations!

LOL  They spawned again


This time, at least 33 of them.  And counting ...

They are all in their own tank now, and I'm just setting up a new 10g planted tank for them.


What would be a good isotope setup for them ?

Welcome to the wide world of Live bearers!

I've been fish keeping for about 14 years now and I never get tired of finding little guys hiding!  They always put a smile on my face   

I find babies now hiding in my Cichlid tank! 

I suggest around 78-80 degrees Fahrenheit, hearty plants such as crypts, hygros, java ferns, and swords.   Duckweed if you can as well!
