Molly Babies

Question
Do you know anything about the care of newborn molly babies? If so, could you give me all the information you have because I just had a female molly give birth to about 40 babies.

Answer
Hi Lisa,
Its all quite simple. Feed the babies finely crushed high quality flakes with several small meals a day. You can also give them frozen baby brine shrimp for a treat. When they grow bigger they can take sinking algae wafers or pellets for variety.
Also, change their water 20% everyday for the best growth and health.

Congratulations on the babies! Be careful, you can get over-run quick! ;-)

Best wishes,
Karen~
