I have a male and female betta fish, also 4 tetra fish with 2 pot bellie mollies. I heared that when the pot bellie mollies have thier babies they get eaten. Will a tetra fish or betta fish eat thier babies? Or will the mother or father eat thier babies?
Yep! Sorry, but they will.
There are special breeding tanks on the market.
You can put the one thats close to giving birth into that tank and take out the fish after giving birth.
You can tell when they are close to giving birth by the belley.
They will all eat them.
donno, any chips with em ?
it awsome that your betta fish haven’t even eaten the other fish!! and that they made kids !! but most of the time betta fish eat the other fish .there knowen to be fish that stay in a tank by them self’s.more then likely the male eats the baby fish but i belive that the mother will keep them away from the father ,on tell they get a perteculer age !! if not the male fish will eat baby fish!!
Pretty much everyone of them will eat them if they are small enough. Male bettas generally love to eat small fry. The female bettas might as well. Mollies have a rep for eating their, but they never have in my tanks. Teras might if they are a species of teras that are big enough.
all fish mums/dads will eat there babies.
if your tank is well stocked of fresh plants some floating ones you wight be lucky
The mother and father will usally eat them but ur other fish will to .
as above, pretty much all this fish in your tank will try to eat the babies, luckily thye have dozens at a time, try to get as many plants and weeds in your tank as possible, some of the fry will escape.
if they last a couple of days they will be fine.
You will have to get a small tank & put the mum to be on her own.Males are most likely to eat the young
