Sailfin Mollies

HI all this is just a few pics that I took to show how my mollies look like
so that Ferryman can see the fish....
Sorry for the blurry pics but my camera does not want to take better pics I think its time for an upgrade...

This is the male the 1 female is completely orange and the other is a silver.






This is some fry...


I have 3 different batches of fry in the tank now the first batch is about 2cm the second is a bit bigger than 1cm and the 3 has just arrived it.....

So ferryman let me know why you want the fish, I might be going up your way at the end of the month.:smile1:

 

:smile:
Awesometastic, they look great
that male looks like a cast member for Grease, lol.
Gareth, did any of the fry come out with a trace of silver?

If you do make the trip by month end, my tank is ready and waiting, just lemme know the details at arrival, i'll pm you my number

 

Most of them have the Orange and Black but there are a few with the silver in them

 

Oooh :drool: are the "with the silver in them" batch also at 2cm or so at present, or are they the medium or tiny batch?

It'd be cool to try and introduce anothersilver male to those when big, and try to breed an orange/black/silver marbled colour if possible

 

well done gareth. Maybe make a few fish sales and buy the camera hey.

 

LOL That is a good idea, I think I should try it

You could try that and see what happens I think I will have a few of them ready by the end of the month...


I was considering putting a few of the youngsters into a 60lt tank to get them to grow faster
will it work or should I just leave them in the 100lt tank with all the others?

 

With 14 tanks, you're bound to be able to supply some LFS with something :smile:

:shrugs: dont look at me, i dunno, whats the logic? they're alone in a tank, more space=faster growth?

 

That's the theory..... but I don't know if it is true

 

Gareth for maximum growth, move them into a 60L, feed live food every day and water change at least 25% daily..

 

Great thanks Zafgak
I will do that now just one question will blood worms and egg yoke?

 

blood worms will do the trick

 

I just finished a 30% water change in this tank and as I had my hand in the tank the small fish can and nibbled at it.
Feryman Some good news there are a few of the bigger fish that have the silver and black in them so let me know what you want to I can catch them out and put them into a 60lt tank to get them to grow a fast as possible
O and there is a lot of them that are orange and black as well and if I saw wright there are 2 or 3 of them that have all 3 colours so I am guessing you would like some of them....:bigsmile:

 

oh yes please, the differing colours together sound great

 

i recieved the mollies a few days ago, will post some piccies, they are really nicely coloured, waiting anxiously to see the sex turnout, i think i've already spotted a male, with a silvery face, black spotted, and the hind half is orange with black flecs, cant wait to see these grow out a bit

 

I am Happy you like, hope you enjoy them as much as I do
