My betta keeps getting his tail nipped by the adult Balloon molly, I left him in there as he seemed to be able to get the molly to stop, I checked his fins and all the fish, nobody was injured but the balloon molly has it's spurts when it tries to nip him.

Should I take him out? or wait? or do something else?

its up to you if hes not actually ripping the tail it might just be a short term thing he might get over, but if its stressing out your betta it would be best to remove him

Thanks ^^ I have THIS FILTER. It won't hurt/suck up the fry, will it? I have no idea how to cover it with a fishnet or anything.

Okay, so I posted this ^ earlier. Apparently (according to mum) it's getting expensive with all these new needs (heater, sponge filter, actual fish, decor for the fry, etc...) so she suggested I just put the female in a little 1-5 gallon jar thing when she's about to have the fry and then remove the female and just care for the fry in the jar until they're big enough to fend for themselves. Would this work?

Yeah if you do daily water changes, keep the water heated and use an airstone, it would probably work. What about just using a net breeder and keeping it in the tank?

I might do that too. Or buy a tank divider. Thanks ^^

It's hard to keep the fry from getting on the other side, mine got out all the time from going under the gravel and out the top.

[Bettahorse]

I agree. My guppy fry can get through my divider as well.

i was just wondering what my fish was called. its one of those fish with that bumpy thing on their heads. i know its a fan tailed something..

I was wondering when I might be worried about my balloon molly fry being able to breed. I've got three of them and an adult one, only two of them are from the same batch, the other fry is from a later batch and is smaller. I'm mainly wondering about the breeding age of balloon mollies.
