BM3 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I think I am starting to see some BBA in my community endler tank. I have read that mollys are a good fish to help get rid of BBA. I was thinking of getting one or two males. Do I have to worry about mollys eating my endlers/endler fry/cherry shrimp? The molly will by far be the biggest fish in the tank. I have endlers, green neon tetras, ember tetras, cherry shrimp, Amano shrimp, ottos and some long fin white clouds. I am mostly into nano fish right now and aquatic plants. I have a moderately planted 60g aquarium so hiding places are there but will be better as plants grow in. I am not currently looking for fish to predate on the fry as I’m trying to grow the population. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they would also predate on the fry and get kind of big for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
