cold water for mollies

Min3 South S.F. Bay CA
14 years ago

i got 5 balloon belly mollies for my big heated tank who immediately began to have babies.

i moved 11 babies to a small tank but don't have a heater for it and they are doing fine after 3 weeks. since they come from streams in n.c. do they HAVE to have heat?

thanks, min
