Molly Fry - MyFishTank.Net Freshwater Saltwater Aquarium Fish Forum

I have a female balloon molly that might drop any day now and I was curious of roughly how large the fry will be. I was hoping to mix them with month old guppy fry but was worried they not might be big enough. If they are not I'll have a separate tank setup.

Should be fine. Month old guppies and or mollies are small and both appreciate the same water temps Slightly warm,and foods. vegetable based flake food.

I agree, they should be fine together

Guppies tend to grow more slowly than mollies and like 1077 said, they like similar tank conditions. Keep the water super clean and feed often in small amounts.

Vegetable based flakes? Is normal flakes fine too?

Mollys and guppies will do much better with vegetable based flake as opposed to flake containing mostly animal protein. I would alternate with a variety of foods such as spirulina flake ,tetra flake,freeze dried daphnia,and or brine shrimp.
