[font color="#000080"]hello, last week i bought a balloon molly and .. another type of molly, not sure what kind but it has black and white and orange spots all over it, and its tail is longer and "C" shaped. anywho, they both went in my tropical tank along with 2 angelfish and 2 black neon tetras. theyre getting along with everyone and have eaten every speck of algae in the tank and seem happy and everything but ive never had mollies before and i have no clue about them. is there anything i should know for caring for them? any advice or info would be greatly appreciated! thank you [/font]

You can feed them veg, like peas,broc,cucumba, lettuce,etc.

I'm not a molly keeper but often they are kept SLIGHTLY brackish...not even really brackish, they just prefer some salt in their tank. I'm not sure if that goes for ALL mollies though...

-Formerly known as the Ferretfish

Here is what i know about mollies-
1- They can live in fresh water, brackish water or saltwater.
2- they like moderately hard water(important if kept in freshwater)
3- like algae and vegetables
