I Put Mollys in my DT to test for ICH, now I have babies in my sump!

[DoctaReef]

Hi everyone-
So a few months back I was wondering if I had Ich in my DT. On the advice of my fellow reefers, I bought 3 mollies as a test, acclimated them to saltwater over 24 hours, and then let them loose in my DT. It was a very easy process actually. They never got Ich, and since the only residents of my RSR 425 XL were two clowns, I left them.
That was 2 months ago, and they are happy and healthy... but today I found at least 2 babies in my sump/fuge...

I'm leaning towards just leaving them there and letting them grow since the pods in there are probably better than anything else I can feed them...

Any advice??

They will continue to breed quite a bit. The babies will be free food for everything in the tank. Yum.

Mollies typically predate on their fry so it is unlikely that you will have a population explosion. There shouldn’t be any issues with leaving them where they are.

I say leave them and let them consume the algae that grows in the sump. It is pretty cool though.

They are very good grazers

Ever heard of a feeder guppy?
