Question
Hi...its Veer(hope u remember me ;),
Recently...my white molly has given birth to 30 to 40 fry.
the fry were born in a tumbler (which has plenty of space for the fry).
I've decided to have a daily water change of about 75%.
IS it ok?

Answer
Hi Veer

No, a 75% daily water change is too much. You can do 30% water change once a week, then a 10% water change about mid-week. If your water parameters are high, your tank may be overcrowded. Consider moving the fry to a larger tank of their own.

Hope this helps, good luck!
