    Hi all.

    Can some one please advice on the following: when i move my sailfin mollie babies to another tank they live only for about 5 days and die. I feed them brine shrimp and chrused pleco pellets as i know they like veg food.

    what do you guys do or feed your new born sailfin mollies??

    Thanks

    I would say you need to use some of the water and filter material from the tank you taking them from so that the water conditions is almost the same.

    With my swords that I had I used to put the female alone in a 1.5ft tank with a normal corner air powered filter and allot of moss so that there is ample hiding spaces.
    Then when I can see she has dropped all her babies then I move her.

    is the new tank cycled?
    are you overfeeding and spoiling the water?
