Aquarium fish mollies is one ofthe most common (both among experienced experts, and among novice aquarists). These are specimens with a body length from 4 to 16 cm, elongated; females of this species are larger than males. Thanks to the long-term selection, copies of various colors (mottled and so on), as well as various forms, such as veils, are bred. For a long time, the most common type was Black Molly. In nature, these fish are found from Texas to Venezuela and Colombia. Moreover, they inhabit not only freshwater bodies, but also slightly brackish and even sea coasts. The fish is viviparous, although among the representatives of this family is considered, perhaps, the most fastidious. Like other viviparous aquarium fish, mollies in appearance makes it possible to determine the sex. To do this, just look at the anal fin. If it is rounded, then this specimen is a female, and if of acute form, it is a male.
To this fish aquarium feltwell, you need to meet fairly stringent requirements. First of all, she does not like cramping, therefore in the aquarium there should be at least 6 liters of water per pair of this species. Filtration must be ensured, since mollies do not like dirty water (and even turbidity), and sufficient aeration is necessary. In order for these hardworking fish to move freely, there must be enough free space in the aquarium. However, like other aquarium fish, mollies will also require the presence of plants, drifts and other shelters. The temperature that they need for normal life is 25-30 degrees. Sharp fluctuations in the temperature of water mollies transfer very badly. It is also advised for the comfort of these fish to add a small amount of salt to the aquarium water (about 2–3 g per liter of water). Mollies prefer to swim in the upper and middle layers of water. It is also necessary to replace a small amount of water (not more than a third) every week.
These fish are omnivores.They need plant food (in dry form and in the form of algae). They will also require live feed or complex specialized feed. It is necessary to create conditions under which the feed will not immediately sink to the bottom (so that the mollies could catch it).
With adequate care and caring attention, asand other aquarium fish, mollies can deliver a lot of pleasant minutes to its owner. Good luck and have a good rest for contemplating the beauty of the aquarium!
