Baby mollies eat to grow, repair tissues, and fuel activity. They are omnivorous, consuming algae, zooplankton, and small invertebrates in the wild. In aquariums, offer varied commercial foods and occasional live foods such as brine shrimp and daphnia.
Feed several small meals daily and avoid overfeeding, which can harm water quality and fish health. Consult a veterinarian or experienced aquarist if unsure about amounts.
