Black Molly Fish

The Molly is a very popular community tropical fish. This is one of many different variations of the Molly you can pick from. They can live in varied conditions from freshwater to brackish (mild salinity). This lively species loves to swim around in groups which makes them stand out in a freshwater aquarium.

Can you keep Molly fish in salt water aquaria?
Although typically sold as a freshwater fish, yes, mollies can be adapted to live in saltwater. Mollies originate from brackish water lakes in Central and South America, where rivers and oceans meet. Sailfin, Lyretail and normal Mollies can easily transition from freshwater to brackish aquariums using basic acclimating methods, and can even be added to full marine saltwater setups using a longer and gradual slow drip method (ideally for at least 3-4 hours).

Features
Approx purchase size: 1-2" / 2-5cm
Maximum size: 7cm
Origin: Southern and Central America
Ideal number kept together: 3+

Water conditions
Ideal pH: 7.0 – 8.5
Hardness: 15 – 35°H
Ideal temperature: 21 – 29 °C

Ease of care
Easy. Mollies are hardy fish and prolific breeders, very few specific requirements.

Diet
Mollies will typically eat tropical fish flake. They can occasionally have frozen or live food like daphnia.

Compatibility
A community aquarium with similar size non-aggressive species (avoid long-finned fish or fin nippers) is ideal.

Breeding
Mollies are live bearers so will spawn extremely quickly and while relatively young. Female molly fish must be monitored to ensure they are not harassed by breeding males (including their own juveniles!)

Life Span
Molly fish have an average lifespan live of 2-5 years in perfect conditions.
