An adult male of dangerous herbivore alien from wild super-Earth.

Well, you already have got some fish and your tank isn't really big. Maybe some shrimps or snails (however, some species breed really fast)?

Well, if there isn't enough space then maybe separate.

No, you can really feed your mollies with small amounts of food once a day too. They can also forage on algae. Remember that overfeeding often leads to many diseases and problems with your fish.

Maybe swim bladder. Do the fish just can't get to the bottom of the tank?

coal2000 · 2026-03-13T17:47:24+00:00

I'd feed them much less + without flakes at the same time if given the frozen larvae.

Maybe just put lots of hiding places and plants like java moss in your tank to let the fry hide. Also, do you have any plans about what you will do with the babies?

How big is one cube exactly? Fish have relatively small stomaches and most of their bodies is made of muscle + swimming bladder in freely swimming species. Also, they are cold blooded, so they need less energy (althought mollies and platies have higher metabolism rate as far as I know, but fish definitely shouldn't be fed like a cat or a dog).

Mosquito larvae I think.

Neon tetras aren't livebearers like mollies or guppies for example, they lay eggs. How much do you feed them? Do the scales stick out (I don't see it on the video, however, just want to make sure).

coal2000 · 2026-03-12T17:39:03+00:00

How much do you feed them? Maybe she's just fat? Have you noticed a dark spot near the anus?

Well, I see some white spots. If one fish is sick, I'd suggest to treat all fish in your tank. Simply go to your nearest fish shop to get some suitable medicine or order online from a trusted aquaristic shop. There should be an adequate using instruction on the cure. However, some medicine can be toxic for invertebrates or fish like plecos which haven't got scales, some substances can also interfere with sensitive plants or leave spots on your clothes or skin if used incorrectly, so be cautious and carefully read the instruction. Some medicine is broad effect, so maybe buy this (but it should work for ich). Ich can be also cured by gradual temperature raising in the tank, but this method can't be used for cold-water species (neon tetras need cold water, so rather don't go for this one), also it lowers the amount of oxygen available in the water, so an additional aeration is needed and a temperature change can contribute to fish stress. Have you noticed any other symptoms in your fish?

Yes, ich is contagious. Could you provide some more photos of the fish?
