Choosing the right mollies for your tank
Mollies are larger and more active than platies or guppies, so give them 20 gallons or more, with 30 gallons or larger for sailfin varieties. They thrive in hard, alkaline water at 75 to 80°F and tolerate a little aquarium salt or even brackish conditions, which makes them one of the few community fish that can share a tank with brackish species. Keep two or three females for every male to spread out the males’ persistent attention.
Mollies are peaceful and mix well with platies, swordtails, larger tetras, rainbowfish and corydoras. They are omnivores with a strong appetite for greens, so feed a vegetable-rich flake or pellet, spirulina, blanched vegetables and occasional frozen foods. Expect regular batches of fry; dense plants give the young a place to hide.
