Mollies are too big for a 2.5 gallon. The only things id put in there are a betta, shrimp, snails, or dwarf frogs.

Also, if your going to keep asking the same question keep it to one thread. Threads take up space on the Fishprofiles server and redundant threads waste the space.

you could posibly put 2-3 guppies in there. well its a small tank so perhaps if ya kept a realy close eye on water quality it may be ok. my LFS tells me that mountain minows in 10L (2.5g) tanks.

Doing fine and living well can be 2 different things. A betta can survive in less than a 1g container that doesn't mean it's a good way to keep one. The fact it's alive, swimming, and eating is not a good way to judge fish happiness.

Balloon mollies still have the same mass as regular mollies. They are just shorter because of their spinal deformity, but the bodies are the same size (making them unsuitable for a 2.5 gallon).

okay derek, you could put one balloon molly in there... it might work cause balloon molly's max size is 2 inches. Take note "Balloon molly."

edit: although it is much better for bigger tank but... you can give it a try... cause i did try once, 2 balloon mollies (again that's "2 inches" in 5.5 g planted tank and do daily 10% water change.

After 14 threads on the same topic, I have a feeling Derek doesnt want honost, informed answers. He'd much rather have someone tell him that he can put whatever he wants in there, even if the tank is horribly overstocked.

I would hardly call the information given to you "crap". People have given you many good suggestions and you should be thanking them.

cant you get a 10 gallon? they are as cheap if not cheaper than a 2.5. and they dont take up ALOT of more room than a 2.5. you will be able to choose from so many more fish.

yet another question about your 2.5 gallon tank. many people have given you answers before and a mollies just aren't fit for a 2.5 gallon. Is it not possible to get a larger tank?!
