Well it's been a little over a month since we had the disaster with the water weirdness in the angel tank. All of the angel's survived & we lost 2 rainbow sharks, but all has been super fine since then. So, I decided to add mollies to their tank cuz I needed something that would eat algae & the 5 or so snails with them do a horrible job.
The angels didn't quite know what to think & it was pretty comical when I added them yesterday. I let them get to know each other for a couple of hours, watched for any signs of murderous plots, & got the net ready. Nothing! The angels all piled together while the mollies swam around getting used to their new tank. I was sure they were planning an ambush, but that's why I bought 6 mollies. Strength in numbers! As the mollies were mingling with the corys, following the shark, etc. the angels slowly broke up the huddle and went over to greet them.
I thought this would be a great time for food. If it's gonna go down, now's the time. So, I fed everyone their usual flakes, cichlid crumbles & added an algae wafer, broken into small pieces. This is where it got comical. One of the mollies was picking at her little piece of algae wafer when one of the angels came over to investigate. The molly stopped for a second, let go of it & the angel dove right in and snatched it. Well, little miss molly wasn't having any of that! She snatched it right out of the angel's mouth, lol. This little game went on for a few minutes until the angel finally gave up & swam back over with the other angels. I was glad to see that the little mollies were standing up for themselves & not letting the angels bully them.
I literally check on all of my fish about once an hour. I work at home & I get bored. They entertain me, what can I say? So, last night on my way to bed I went to turn everyone's lights off and what do I see? Mister molly is breeding ALL 5 females. They're in a dang conga line to get bred next, lol. So, I suppose in about a month or so I'll have little PEZ dispensers providing angel tank snacks.
It hasn't been 24 hours yet, but no one got murdered overnight & everyone was hanging out together this morning. So far, so good!
