Molly Fish Care: Tank Size, Temperature & Types
Mollies are social livebearers sold under a broad trade name. Identify the species or domestic form first; plan at least 45 litres for a small group of smaller mollies or 80 litres for sailfins, then verify adult size, water, sex ratio and the complete community.

Care and setup
Use a mature, well-filtered aquarium with open swimming space, plants around the edges and stable hard water. Balloon mollies still need room; the rounded body shape should not be used as a reason to keep them in tiny tanks. Keep groups balanced, with more females than males if both sexes are present.
Mollies prefer clean, mineral-rich water. They are usually straightforward when the water suits them, but they can struggle in soft acidic aquariums or in tanks with unstable filtration.
Feeding
Feed a varied omnivore diet with a meaningful plant component. Quality flakes, small pellets, algae wafers, blanched greens, daphnia and brine shrimp all suit this fish. Avoid heavy protein-only feeding, which can lead to poor condition in livebearers.
Tank mates
Choose peaceful fish that appreciate similar hard-water conditions. Related livebearers to compare include Assorted Balloon Molly, Balloon Silver Molly, Calico Balloon Molly, Platinum Sailfin Molly and Gold Leopard Sailfin Molly Mix. Avoid persistent fin nippers, aggressive cichlids and delicate soft-water fish that need very different chemistry.

I have a small group of long finned mountain minnows. So was delighted to be able to order ten of this variety to increase the genetics in my tank . The ones I recieved are healthy but it’s to early to give a verdict on wether they are of a long finned type since they are small currently.

100% success travel and "installation". Pleased with quality of purchase. The Siamese fighter a bit "shy" so have not yet seen him at his best yet but looking good. Happy customer. GG
