QUESTION: hi, i am youssef my female molly fish had babes and the are about 1 month old and thy are 25 in number, so i wonder how large my tank should be?

ANSWER: Youssef,

 Good job on the molly babies they are cute. I would say nothing smaller than a 30 gallon but bigger is always better. Remember, keep the water clean and feed them 3 or 4 times a day. Good luck with the babies.

QUESTION: hi I'm youssef, sorry for asking lots of question:) but how can i know how much gallon is my tank? and can i feed the babies 2 time a day but with a bigger amount of water?

ANSWER: Youssef,

 When you bought the tank, how big did it say it was. Either 5 or 10 or 20 gallon or more? The babies need to be fed no less than 3 times a day but do better on 4 times.

QUESTION: ok, thanks for helping me with taking care of my baby mollys.
but do you think i should put air pump in the babys tank ?
and what are the types of molly fish?
thank you

Answer
Youssef,

 First off, know all about the fish you want to keep long BEFORE you get the fish. If you don't know about the breed how do you expect to raise them. These are all homework questions. Look up Molly's on the net and you will find all your answers. Good luck
