LiveAquaria® is excited to offer a fresh, new, "salty" pack of Mollies for your tropical community aquarium. These Mollies have the ability to adapt to a variety of salt levels in the aquarium. With a gradual acclimation, these fish may be maintained in either a freshwater or saltwater aquarium. In the freshwater aquarium, a teaspoon of aquarium salt per gallon is recommended for optimum health.

The Mollies offered in this pack have been hand-selected to provide a variety of vibrant shades of silver, black, and gold. This combination provides a visually appealing community of fish. These Mollies are peaceful and sociable fish that would do well with other inhabitants that can withstand similar water conditions. They prefer a tank of at least 30 gallons with plenty of strong plants such as Java Fern, Sagittaria, Vallisneria, and Anubias. They also require a good filtration system because of their hearty appetites and resulting waste products.

The Molly is a livebearer that requires a spawning box in a 25 gallon or larger breeding tank. The aquarium should be planted as densely as possible or have a thick algae mat. Having a group of floating plants in the corner of the aquarium will promote rearing outside of the breeding tank. Every 60-70 days the female give birth to 10-60 young that are already approximately one-half inch long.

Molly fish are omnivorous and require both meaty foods as well as algae. Provide these fish with an algae-based flake food, as well as freeze-dried bloodworms, tubifex, and brine shrimp.
