shark catfish + molly fry?

Post by dorio »

Would an h. Ariius eat the fry of mollies? Even a 3" juvenile? I am guessing the answer is yes, but would like more certainty if anyone knows. Thanks!

A 2" (or so) male siamese fighter eats molly fry (either that, or our mollies are not producing very many fry... And I don't think that's the case, as sometimes there are more molly fry and slimmer fighter than at other times).

Ok, so basically fry are not safe from much:)
