Assorted Mollies

Mollies are a popular freshwater fish known for their active and social behaviour. They are a peaceful species that gets along well with other fish and are relatively easy to care for, making them a great option for both beginners and experienced aquarists. Mollies come in a variety of colours, including black, orange, silver, and white, and have a distinctive sail-like dorsal fin. Mollies are omnivorous and will eat a variety of foods, including flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp or blood-worms. They are also live bearers, meaning they give birth to live young, and are prolific breeders, so it's important to manage their population in the aquarium. Overall, mollies are a great addition to any aquarium with their colourful appearance and active personality.
