so there are all of my babys for now i still plan to add a few more fish if any one know any nice ones that might look good please let me know :)

My molly had her babys i was abult to catch 4 of them the others where all eaten :( it was a sad day for my fish
but here is is pic of the babys sorry its a bit fuzzy they like to zip around

Lovely tank! I used to have 5 tanks, but had to give them up.

Watch out for your ghost shrimp. They will eat sleeping fish. And always put aquarium salt in your fresh water if you notice diseases. It's different than salt water salt. It keeps disease at bay and will keep your fish healthier. Some live plants don't do well with the salt though. I always stuck with silk plants. Live plants are a hassle when it comes to cleaning the tank, imo. Invest in a tank vacuum cleaner.. I couldn't have done without it. Best thing ever. Also add crushed coral if your PH drops. And you probably know this, but don't mix aggressive fish with the friendly fish you have. And since you have barbs, which are fin nippers, don't add fish with long, flowing fins or the barbs will harass them without mercy. If your mollies have babies in the tank, they're history. The other fish will eat them. You might want to invest in a breeding trap. Also, biological bacteria...buy some. Add it to your tank every water change. You can't over use it. You could pour in the whole bottle and it wouldn't harm the fish. It will cloud the water for a day or two, which is normal, but then it clears and keeps your tank crystal clear. Just a couple tips... :)

ty for posting i love my tank & all my fish :) ty also for the info in biologcal bactera i did not know about it and it will help once i get some of it
i know about the shrimp i did my reserch on them for a month before ordering them as my loco pet shop does not carry them unless you order them in .as for my prego molly i moved her last night to my hatchery tank shes in a breeding trap where all the babys will drop into the 20gal tank & be safe from being eaten :) by her
im going to be adding more driftwood to the tank soon im just curing it right now in a med tub i soak it for a month changing the water every day to get it fully water logged before i add it to my tank as i dont want it floating to the top of my tank

I loved my tanks, especially my 90 gallon.. I had aggressive fish, cichlids, convicts, etc. Convicts are mouth brooders and it was so cool seeing them suck up and spit out the babies. XD Plus, the tanks and the fish, the sounds of the water, are just so relaxing. I miss my tanks. I still have them, they just aren't set up atm.

I'm glad you have a separate tank for your molly and know about the ghost shrimp. It's a lot of fun having baby fish around and raising them. :) I worked in a pet shop long ago and it amazed me how many people would buy things without doing the research and then come in wondering why they had issues. lol


You soak the driftwood for a month? Wow! I bought driftwood that was anchored to a heavy stone bottom which kept it from floating. I also bought a bunch of slate rock and made cool caves out of it which the fish really seemed to like. I loves me some catfish. You can get really cool ones, but they're all aggressive and wouldn't do with the fish you have now. I also have this cool stone dragon that blows bubbles out of it's mouth. You can find so many gorgeous tank accessories online. Please keep posting pics! I'd love to see the babies when they arrive. :)

Sad story ahead:

A while ago, I got a black Molly. I named it Blackie. He became very special and important to me. I actually could train him. He did exactly what I did in a way. One day, he died. I cried for a few days.

Yeah. I used to have a fish tank. I in fact loved watching the fish I had eat the fish food, racing to and fro to get as much as they could.

Babaaeyes - im sorry your molly died on you they are lovely fish to keep im hoping to add a few angelfish to my tank in a few weeks :)

shadow - you asked for a pic of the babys when they come & they have arived i could only catch 4 of them from 10 babys my silver molly had i have moved the mom back in with all my other fish & just have the 4 babys now in my hatchery tank :)

I have a 40 gallon one
Right now, I have
1 female betta
3 zebra danios
2 black Mollies
2 red wag platys
1 Mickey Mouse platy
2 otocinclus'
1 Cory catfish
And 1 ghost shrimp

I'd love to see a picture of the baby mollies when you have a chance to get it up

I used to breed Guppies and loved them all so much <3 they all went to the pet store^^ I had a 10 gallon but now I have 2 five gallon tanks, 1 is split and has 2 males Bettas and the other has 4 male guppies ( and all my fish my fish are a different breed; ex. I have a Veiltail Betta and a Clowntail Betta). I some day want to be a guppy breeder for my petstore <3
