Question
my balloon mollies gave birth to a lot of babies. i wna know when will they become big i have kept them in the breeding net .if i keep them with their parents they start eating them .

Answer
Hi Wajid,
  They will become big after a few months.  You would be best to move the babies into an aquarium of their own.   If you put them in with the parents, there is a chance that the parents will eat some of them.
