Congratulations about the fry. I would suggest getting some long stem plants whose tips will float on the water, or maybe just some floating plants, as it will give the fry somewhere to hide and will increase their chances of surviving.

The sailfins are particularly hardy as mollies go, and will usually be fine in most water conditions. Yours look nice and healthy!

Cup_of_Lifenoodles Fish Guru Posts: 2755 Kudos: 1957 Votes: 30 Registered: 09-Sep-2004	-.- Here we go again with the naturally brackish water stuff. Mollies are highly adaptable fish. They are found in both fresh and brackish water in their natural habitats. However, they do not live in FW due to "years of being bred in FW". Still, though--I say, send them back. Get a nice school of black skirts, festivum or other peaceful SA cichlids (can you find geophageus in your area?), and maybe another hypancistrus species or two; a great SA tank.

~Mista Psycho~ Hobbyist Posts: 125 Kudos: 84 Votes: 12 Registered: 13-Mar-2005	Not necessarily. Mollies are naturally a brakish water fish. But due to years of breeding they can survive well in the freshwater aquarium. But for that little bit of luxury for them some aquarium salt would be great. Just add a teaspoon for every 10g. The salt will not harm your other fish infact it will probably protect them from deseases. KEEEP THE MOLLIES !!! theyre really nice ones

Untitled No. 4 Big Fish Posts: 488 Kudos: 452 Votes: 33 Registered: 07-Nov-2004	Yeah, I don't think you'll have a problem with those fish. By the way, a dark background to your tank will make everything in the tank stand out and will make your tank look much better with minimum effort.

Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	Thank you, No i dont want to have betta in my tank. Molly,swordtail and platy will be ok in the tank? I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

Untitled No. 4 Big Fish Posts: 488 Kudos: 452 Votes: 33 Registered: 07-Nov-2004	Nice tank, and it's nice to see how it progresses and becoming nicer. If the tank really has one way glass, then you'd better not keep a betta as it will exhaust itself by fighting the guy in the mirror.

Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	Yes..i just noticed it when i was changing waterthat i had one way glass I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.
