colormyheart Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Because females are always the boss. Link to comment
Squared Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Because females are always the boss. actually the male is looking more stressed than female Link to comment
colormyheart Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Oh. are you acclimating too fast? Link to comment
gena Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I thought your mollies were for a FW tank. I forgot they can go SW too Your midas looks nice and healthy and your pink bird looks like it's coloring up nicely too!!!!! Link to comment
Squared Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Oh. are you acclimating too fast? maybe...but it's a pretty slow drip and the female looks just fine.

I forgot they can go SW too Your midas looks nice and healthy and your pink bird looks like it's coloring up nicely too!!!!! i think the pink birds look a little worse actually need to feed the blenny Link to comment
Squared Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 ok so i have a mini 7.5w heater and air pump with no airstone running. temp is constant at 73F. hope he'll be ok. Link to comment
gena Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 i think the pink birds look a little worse actually Weren't they splotchy before? I thought they were improving since the splotchiness was gone. Link to comment
Squared Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 nah. they are still really splotchy and pale. it's 5:07 and the sg in the bucket is 1.007. started at around 3. too fast? Link to comment
Squared Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 im going to keep updating the acclimation process soo...the female still looks pretty chill and the male will move to different spots in the bucket. don't think the heater is working, so i put a cup full of 100F+ water in the bucket, brought temp up to 74F-75F slowed the drip a little, and using a lamp to light the bucket a little. male is trying to hid in the PVC i used the flash-it's not that bright in there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_ULIqil5xY...feature=related also this vid helps me feel a little better about the mollys, these seem to be able to handle all that water movement no prob.

Squared Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 I am not all that sure the male is going to make it I think the female may be picking on him because he's dying Link to comment
Squared Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Just did actually, put the male in a breeder box. Female is still trying to get him. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Good. Maybe cover the breeder box in black so the female can't get to him/see him/stress him? Link to comment
Squared Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 I put in a piece of PVC. Link to comment
Squared Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yes, in the box. Also some food. He's not eating, but the female is. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 You might have a problem. If he survives the night, he should be fine. Link to comment
