I don't know how but then I tried catching them. I managed to catch 4 and there are at least 2 more in the tank. I hope they don't get sucked into the filter though. I'm not sure how many she had originally because some may have gotten eaten...also my black Molly has has been showing the signs(I'm not sure how long it takes after they get pregnant to look like it) of being pregnant for about a week and a half. When should I separate her? Also any other suggestions for a breeding thing?
Can anyone help me with the last two questions? Thank you if you can ^-^
To be honest, I don't think you should breed them. Believe it or not, livebearers will readily inbreed. This can cause horrendous deformity. Trust me, I'm speaking from personal experince. If I were you, I'd just let the fry be eaten.
