Molly Fry Growing Up - From Birth To Day 33 

Lmao😂😂 He can just hide the dislikes…

@@muhammedfaris9048 there's a chrome extension you can get that shows dislikes

@@midwestmasocist that's really cool!

Good luck with your breeding project!

@@tsitsu8345 hey what should i do if i have mollies pregnant for 3 weeks now and nothing? .a has a white dot under her anus

depends on genetics I guess

I once had a white Mollie only have back and orange babies! I didn't realise it was her fry for a while

Most mollies have ancestry from different colors. Farmers/breeders do that to reduce inbreeding between close relatives. My non sailfin molly gave birth to sailfin.

Thank you so much for watching! You might want to check my other videos of further development of this batch of fry or similar videos about koi sanke swordtail fry.

@@tsitsu8345 I'm going to watch them now. Thanks!

@@mattkinsella9856 Enjoy! 😊

Thank you!

Thanks for watching! What myths?

@@tsitsu8345 The biggest one is that fry grow slower in the presence of adult fish due to an imaginary hormone that they apparently release. This video shows that fry grow at roughly equal rates with or without adults present. Another one that it kills is that fry can't be grown in breeder boxes. The fry grow at the same rate just as with the last myth, although I still personally wouldn't use one past about one week of age.

@@cryoraptora303tm2 About that hormone I’ve heard it a little differently. Not adult fish but bigger and stronger fry release it to get rid of competition from their weaker siblings. That’s why you should do big and frequent water changes in a fry tank - to wash away the hormone. I don’t know if it’s true, but I do daily 50-60% water changes anyway (twice a day for a tank with no live plants) and my molly and swordtail fry grow at the same rate. The breeder box gives you an advantage: the fry don’t have to tire themselves out searching for food, they get it right in front of their noses. But now I have stopped using a breeder box, I put fry in a small aquarium right away.

@@tsitsu8345 The way I've seen it is 'adults release hormones to stop fry from growing', but I see how that can be construed as well. The logical question I ask is why would it ever do that? Surely releasing an inhibiting hormone into the water will result in slower growth for the emitter as well? I've raised both guppy and cory fry and I definitely see some fry grow much faster than others. I think it's more like a chain reaction of the bigger fry being able to get more food, resulting in even faster growth and vice versa for the smaller fry. I'm about to start a selective breeding project in a 15 gallon, and I plan on removing the parents to my community 37 gallon once they give birth. I'm hoping that the large volume for the fry, combined with regular feeding and water changes that I plan to do, will result in fast growth.

@@cryoraptora303tm2 There is not enough research about the hormone to say smth for sure. It doesn’t make sense for adult fish to release it after they’ve invested so much effort in reproduction. Good luck with your new breeding project!

I am pledged by little tiny black snails. They are everywhere, getting into my filters and are serving no purpose. I have had to already replace one filter. I have been killing them and taking them out of the tanks. I have 5 tanks and they are everywhere. What can I do to clean them out of my tanks? Help!!!!

@@joannchambers5393 I usually put salt to kill them

I also loved this appearence ❤️👍🏽

I have newborns... They're so cute

Her yellow daughters already have babies too and 1/4 of the fry are black like their grandmother. 😊

@@tsitsu8345 Genetics are a funny thing

Is the original mother still alive ?

Can u explain to me how there strange

I have questions like if they cross breed will they mix colors or come out for example one orange and two blue

Hmm

It's not about brood size; it's about the time it takes to raise them. Most fish produce hundreds or thousands of fry per spawn. Mollies can take several months to reach sale size. They have to be fed a lot and their water has to be kept clean and sometimes medicated. Then they have to be shipped to the store and either the supplier or the store has to make up for any that die in shipping. If you want to save money, buy a pregnant female and raise the fry yourself, then sell any you don't want back to the store.

Or yellow

Live food such as brine shrimps and tubifex worms :)

Bleach!!!!! Jp jp jp brine shrimp

@@tropicalaquascapes8169 thank you

@@capalot5595 thank you

Thanks for watching! The name of that fish is Kribensis Cichlid (Pelvicachromis pulcher). It's so nice to live somewhere warm where you can keep fish in an outdoor pond! Good luck with your breeding project!

Thank you! :)

What did you feed ?

I feed them live bbs for the first two weeks, then boiled spinach, small bloodworms, pellets...

What is live bbs?

@@kin5450 baby brine shrimp

That's the koi sanke swordtail fish. You can find many videos of these swordtails on my channel. But I don't breed them anymore.

The same. They are learning to be ferocious and intimidating. :)

on her

Of course they fight. It's in their nature.

@@tsitsu8345 it's natural behavior

baby brine shrimp

I give mine freeze dried blood worms but they fry are a little olde

I gave mine egg yolks. Then I had a hard time to shift them to normal food. So I kept them starving for 2 days (yup, won't kill them) then started the normal fish food. Worked wonders!

It's normal.

Comida para alevines Esta una que se llama First bites

@@krystaldelacruz2010 pero no es d ninguna marca ??

Hikari, sera , north fin Por mencionar algunos Yo utilizo first bites de la marca hikari

@@krystaldelacruz2010 osea k hay mas marcas o k onda?? Jeje,ah ok pero si los venden mundialmente verdad?? Xk hay productos k no

@@luiguimtz3804 si hay de diferentes marcas solo busca alimento para alevines ya sea en tiendas locales o en internet

Hi! I'm feeding them live baby brine shrimp. You can also try to feed molly fry with pulverized chips smth like TetraPro Energy. Or any dry fish fry food.

Thank you for your information, on feeding molly fry, will try the tetra pro, let me ask this; when pulverizing the food, I am trying to get powder like substance, right or wrong? Again thanks!

@@tonyfordyce240 Just observe your fry and notice the size of food particles they're able to swallow. If you keep your fry in a tank with no gravel you can also put pro energy chips without braking them. The chips get soft in water so fry can easily bite tiny pieces.

Looks like live brine shrimp

@@ihspstanktribe yeah 👍

Thank you! Feed them baby brine shrimp or crushed flakes or pallets. But BBS is the best.

@@tsitsu8345 perfect, I've just buy the starter for brine and fairy shrimps! Thank you!

@@tsitsu8345 o

😄

It's baby brine shrimp.

Yes, the food is the most important thing. Feed bbs 4-5 times a day for the first two weeks, 3-4 times a day for the next month and they will grow very fast.

Tsi Tsu thank you I will try to feed them more often

@@valeriatudela907 Good luck! 😉

Brine shrimp eggs

live bbs, frozen food, pellets, boiled vegetables...

This is boiled spinach. Thanks for watching 🙂

I feed them BBS mostly.

I personally never add methylene blue for fry. I only add it for cory catfish eggs to protect the eggs from bacteria. You don't need it for fry. As for the heater, molly fish like warm water (25-26C is ok).

@@tsitsu8345 is this compulsory to keep heater ?

@@Mathew29 It depends on the water temperature in your molly tank. If it is less than 25 degrees then a heater is needed.

@@tsitsu8345 ok brother

You feed them Normal flakes just crush it up so it can fit in it’s miuth

Mouth

He was feeding newly hatched brine shrimp. But its best to give them lots of foods.

every month

Their father is yellow.

@@tsitsu8345 ohh ok :)

Aku suka liatin perkembangan ikan itu ....sehat"
