Molly (Mixed)

A Peaceful and Hardy Community Favourite

Mollies are vibrant, easygoing livebearers ideal for both beginner and experienced aquarists. Known for their active nature and beautiful range of colours—including black, dalmatian, gold, and marble—they thrive in peaceful community setups.

These fish prefer a well-filtered aquarium with stable water conditions and a touch of aquarium salt to mimic their natural brackish environments. They enjoy swimming throughout the tank and are best kept in groups for social comfort.

Mollies are also livebearers, meaning they give birth to free-swimming fry—making them a popular choice for home breeding projects.
