Question
my mollie has just given birth 8.4.09.  Concernedas to whether I need special food for the baby fish to that of adult fish.  Currently feeding flake fish food to other adult ish

Answer
Hi Lorraine

If you grind up the regular flakes to crumbs they should be able to eat them. However, it's better to feed them baby food. Your local fish store should have powered or liquid baby food for your baby Mollies. Also a good idea to separate them from the others or they may be eaten.

Good luck!
