Mixed Molly

Mixed Molly is a livebearing molly selected for the appearance described by its trade name. Mixed stock offers varied colors and patterns; a particular individual pattern is not guaranteed. Most common mollies reach roughly 6–12 cm depending on strain and sex.

Aquarium and care

Provide a mature aquarium with swimming room, plants, and reliable filtration. Moderately hard to hard, mineral-rich freshwater is generally appropriate. Keep conditions warm and stable, and do not add salt routinely without a reason suited to the entire aquarium. Avoid abrupt water changes in temperature or chemistry.

Feeding

Offer quality small prepared foods with a substantial vegetable-based component and occasional suitably sized frozen foods. Feed balanced portions rather than leaving excess food in the aquarium.

Temperament and tank mates

Choose peaceful companions with compatible water conditions. Mixed-sex groups may breed frequently; keep more females than males to reduce persistent courtship and plan for the resulting fry. Males may compete, so watch chasing and provide enough space and cover.
