Molly and Golly
I'm pleased to announce that last night Molly and Golly (my 2 fish, both mollies, one black and one gold) became proud parents to a little school of 9 tidgy mollies.

Mother and father are both well and the kids are swimming around nicely.

CONGRATULATIONS MOLLY AND GOLLY, DADDY LOVES YOU XOXOX

I'll try

We counted x9 this morning therefore the 1st 9 people to ask can each have a little molly named after them :0)

thankyou!
you can call the halfy one Corvinus though if you like, The Raven king is a great name for a tish!

Oooh, I want one named after me
do I have to contribute towards it's education?

my friend
had these at uni. we were crouching over the tank cooing at them, when to our horror, the awful japanese fighting fish just sucked 3 of them up like so much spaghetti!

you don't know what impossible is, until you've chased tiny mollies around a tank with a spoon trying to put them in a safe breeding net until they are big enough not to be hors d'oeuvre!

Can we send birthday and christmas cards ?
Will I get photos and updates of it's wellbeing?
( girlinthehole, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 14:54, Reply)

luckily......
I only have the 2mollies, 2 tetras and 4 harlequins so they should be safe. My gouramis and fightyfish became Angel Fish :)

WeeWitch - there are no fee's involved although and drugs, alcohol and porn you wish to donate (for the fishes obviously) will be greatly recieved.

As I never want children.

Mmmm, not quite that gullible

You may want to separate the Kaol Jr one, he may not play well with others :p

Are you sure they're baby fish and not just fish spunk?

Fish don't have cocks
FACT.

...Oh yes, and check KJ for weaponry as well
A tooled up fish probably isn't a good thing
( Fireflier La la la la, not listening on, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 15:07, Reply)

May I request...
For one to be named "The Entightened Diablo"? That's a great name for a fish.

And congrats! Baby fish are teh awesome!

Believe me Pink
I knew that already.

Just don't ask why.
( Cawl, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 15:19, Reply)

mollies
are one of the few pet fish that have live bearing young.

we looked this up when emma's had babies, as we thought we were all going mad!

congratumalations
I have a breeding pair of Kribensis that keep spawning, but I can never get to the babies quick enough and don't have room for a separate tank for them :-(

Kribensis are ace fish though.

Kribensis
look pretty damn cool. I might get a couple when the kids grow up

@DG
Have you tried making a wee "cave" for your Kribs? We did this (oh, many years ago) and mummy Krib defended them fiercely. We ended up taking the young to the pet shop she had so many.

We used small pieces of cleaned slate, but a plant pot buried in the gravel would probably work, too.

Please can you call one
Fistula?


I dunno why, but I think it's a great name for a fish.
(The Empress it seems you CAN polish a turd!, Thu 4 Sep 2008, 15:41, Reply)

can I cast my vote for the name
Juan Pablo Diablo?

I've got a rather large ornamental tree stump that they lurk around, which has loads of nooks and crannies to hide in - they defend it pretty aggresively when they have to. Unfortunately the babies still seem to end up as fish food.
