Mollies arent actually Brackish water species. Some mollies can inhabit brackish water, but they are a freshwater species, and need clean water, not salt to be healthy.

Mollies have been tankbred for so many generations that they survive full freshwater at least as well as brackish. While salt doesn't usually hurt mollies it also doesn't seem to really improve their health or increase their lifespan in most cases.

Before I cast a vote I have a question for Sham:

You say "doesn't seem to really improve their health or increase their lifespan" and the suggested change reads "Mollies heath seem to be much improved if kept in brackish water" - but then you vote approve. To me, that's a contradiction. Can you please clarify where I am misinterpreting the facts?

Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
