About Chelsey Expertise I can answer most questions about Balloon Mollies, and can give some answers to questions about other live bearing fish. I am more specific with Balloon Mollies, but can give a general idea on other breeds of mollies, platies, guppies, and betta. I can answer questions about how to help your fish want to breed, when to expect the fry, and how to take care of the fry (offspring) once they are born. I can also give tips on how to set up tanks just for the fry, and good supplies to get to take care of your fish.
Experience I can answer most questions asked about Balloon Mollies. I have owned and successfully bred Balloon Mollies for around five years, since I was old enough to have the money to take care of my pets and to take good care of them. Since then, I was always facinated by Balloon Mollies in particular, but of course I have other fish like Dalmation Mollies, Mickey Mouse Platies, and Tuxedo Guppys. I also own a few Betta and recently purchased a female for the first time, so I might even begin to breed them as well. I sell babies(fry) to a local pet store to earn money to raise more fry. I love the excitement of waking up to see about fifty or so fry swimming around the tank.
I have made all of the mistakes in my beginner years, so I know how to help others from making the same ones. All I want to do is help others raise happy healthy fish, and have a blast while doing so...I want to spread the joy that Mollies have given me.
Education/Credentials I am still in school, and take care of fish in all of my free time. I am also into reptiles and amphibians, and own my share of them as well.
Question My son set up new tank with mollies now there is tiny white egg looking things in gravel they are alive and moving what are they?
Answer Hey Nicole,
They are probably fry, and were either just born (and should start swimming around REALLY soon) or were pre maturely born and most likely will all die.
I'm sure they are fry, but it depends on how healthy they are to tell if they will make it or not. If they start swimming around, feed them very finely crushed fish flakes a few times a day.
Good luck with everything! I hope this helps you out!!
if you have any more questions feel free to ask!
best wishes, Chelsey
