My Saltwater Mollies had babies

[myreef05]

I keep sw mollies in my QT to keep it cycled. They had another batch of babies and now I have 14 new ones. They are about 1/4" now so I know the parents will not eat them.

yeah black mollies..... mollies are a man made hybrid and can be converted to salt and fresh but the process takes about 12 hrs

very slowly changing their water from brackish to salt.

just drip them in for about 12 hours
one drop per second

Well let me be the first to congratulate you.

I used to have FW mollies and it was fun to watch them breed and watch the little ones grow. I think in lieu of handing out cigars you should pass out some frags....
