Well, we had two female white mollies in a tank upstairs and moved them this evening to the 50 gallon tank downstairs which had a male and female.

Well, hot diggity but the male was all over the place and im pretty sure managed to mate with one if not more of the females

So, the question is, what now??

Ask the dad molly if it's okay if the female has an abortion, then clear up the details with her. He might not like the idea, so you may need to school him on the costs of child support. When he realizes 1/2 his pay will go to support his kids he'll probably be all for the abortion.

I'd say sit back and enjoy. Live birth is a pretty cool thing to watch.

Especially when Mom and Dad make a meal of 'em shortly after. They will do their own ethnic cleansing.

Heh, I just got your subject line

Anyway, my local Petco will accept some fish as donations, which they will adopt out for no cost. This might be an option with fish shops near you.

Otherwise, you may want to find a school or university that might want them for classrooms or research.

Lastly, maybe you could find someone who wants to set up a new tank; you could provide them with a fish stock at little or no cost.

See the last subject at http://faq.thekrib.com/breeding.html#raising

Gone? How can she be gone? Has she done a Nemo and managed to make it to the sea do you think? Have you found any stones in the filter?
