 | mollies |
amilner  Big Fish Posts: 429 Kudos: 654 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jul-2004   | Sailfins are more sensitive than other mollies so I'd suggest that you have either species. They will eat the larvea but surely your thorough clean out should rid the problem. |

Mollies would probably do as well but they like it a little warmer and my ponds aren't heated. I read somewhere that goldfish like plants and algea better than bug, I guess your experience bears that out. |

| ronnfive Enthusiast Posts: 188 Kudos: 219 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Jul-2004  | yes they'll eat 'em.  but i think mollies and gold fish don't match. gold fish prefers cold water, that's why they called "cold water fish". and mollies prefers brakish water...?!(correct me if i'm wrong!) nywz, it's jz 4 me, i think! |

| amilner Big Fish Posts: 429 Kudos: 654 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jul-2004 | As I said previously, I think the sailfins require different water perameters, especially more salt than the others. |

| ronnfive Enthusiast Posts: 188 Kudos: 219 Votes: 0 Registered: 28-Jul-2004 | i agree, sailfin mollies likes more salt than the other mollies... and ballon mollies is so small and so weak than the others!  [span class="edited"][Edited by ronnfive 2004-07-30 00:28][/span] |

Mr Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 304 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-Jul-2003  | I think that the salfin mollies will attack the smaller mollies and would stress them out to death. |

| Mr Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 304 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-Jul-2003 | It depends on many things. I would personally go for a smaller molly so that I could keep more. The gold dust mollies are my personal favourite. |
