The first thing to realise is this is just the start....Mollies plus
water equal lots of Mollies....with your first born you will do anything
to raise them (yep I have a breeder trap I no longer use)

Send it to me ;-)

- eventually
you get overrun with fry...start believing in survival of the fittest -
I know it sounds mean but what else are you going to do with them

I'm sure you're right, but I think it would be worth our while
tending one or two lots of babies, just for the interest factor
(particularly for kids, but also for me LOL).

But yeah, it is great to know that you have created an environment where
your fish feel happy enough to breed - nothing can take that away...

Yes, that's definitely a good feeling - seeing that the fish are
happy and doing what comes naturally :-D. I'm really pleased at how
our tank has come on now - all the chemical levels are good, the
water is crystal-clear, the fish are all brightly-coloured and active
and look healthy.

In
spite of what I have just said I love watching my Mbuna's interracting
at all levels with the fry, juvs, almost adults and the real grown ups...

Yep, it's really interesting to watch the interactions. Even hubby,
who tends towards the cynical, hard-hearted side when it comes to
non-human animals, is getting into it LOL

Really, what I am saying, is let your fish breed, give plenty of cover
for the fry to survive

What kind of cover is good? Is there anything besides plants that
you'd recommend?

I am so happy you are settling in to this hobby. Research and questions
show that a passion rather than a passing phase.....I'm alreay a sad
muppet with this and don't really have as much to offer as some of the

I suspect I'm not far behind you in the muppet stakes LOL
