Freshwater aquarium fish, Phila. PA

May 29, 2010 18:07

I have two freshwater aquariums and one pregnant fish who has already crowded both of them with her babies. We got her in February, when the pet store assured us she wasn't pregnant. Well, 100+ babies later, and we're a little stuck. Her first two litters (about 25 total, they have more babies at a time as they get older) are definitely big enough to be moved to a new home at this point. Last time she gave birth, there were about 75 babies. We need to find a good home for the first two batches of babies so we have enough room for the 75 new babies to grow to a comfortable size for adoption.

They're cremesickle lyre-tail mollies. All of the babies have pretty consistent yellow coloring, with a couple being lighter and a couple being a little darker. Some have a more rounded tail and some have very pronounced hook shaped tails. They're very pretty fish and very active.

I'd strongly prefer to adopt them out to someone with an established aquarium(s). They seem to adapt very well, but they're used to very healthy conditions. They currently live with an assortment of live plants (you can have a few of these as well, apparently our conditions are a little too good and they grow like crazy), moss, rocks, and places to hide. We do 25% water changes once a week as this seems to keep them the happiest. They look like this:



Please let me know if you or anyone you know would like to adopt some of our mollies :)

For a small negotiable adoption fee, you'll get however many mollies you can handle and some live wisteria plants for your tank (much better than plastic plants).
