10 X Assorted Balloon Molly (Poecilia cf. latipinna)

This listing is for a group of 10 Assorted Balloon Mollies (Poecilia cf. latipinna, mixed colours, 2.5-3 cm) — the same fish as our single Assorted Balloon Molly listing, supplied together as a mixed group.

Balloon mollies are sociable livebearers and are best kept in a group rather than singly; ten mixed individuals give a hard-water community tank varied colour and let females spread male attention.
