    I raised one by putting it in a baby cage and feeding it a food called first bites.

    I took some regular fish food and put it in a plastic ziplock bag and crushed it up until it was powder. I raised a 4 or 5 hundred mollys on this. No really need to buy anything special.

    yep thats how i raise my mollys, just crush the food reeeaaally small

    usually out of the hundreds born 3-5 make it to being full grown then i give them away to my cousins or anyone else who wants them

    Or if you wait long enough you only have one fat baby molly, The wife and I found one FAT lil baby in our brackish tank. Wish I saw them sooner. Probably have a lot more right now.

    Yeah. Just regular flake food crushed super fine does the trick. Bred hundreds of mollys, guppies and swordtails like that. :)
