subsea Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I had not seen Mollies eating "mollie fry" until last night. At first, I thought that the different Alpha Males were acting out and hunting pods. Not so, the large Silver Mollie was eating Black Mollie babies. Then a large Black Mollie male and female joined in the hunt. Then, I saw what Victoly posted about this behavior. Initially, I thought a large Alpha Male was acting out sexually. I am convinced that the male was looking for the female that was drooping large babies. These fish have been acclimated to marine systems for several weeks with a 70% survival rate. These fish are looking good. They put no load on the system and in fact are an important component in my tank husbandry. I like it when some body else does the housekeeping.

subsea Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Who knew mollies were racist. When white mollies eat baby black mollies, it is worse than racism. It is canabalism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
