-
Tank Size: Provide a tank of at least 20 gallons for a small group of Gold Dust Mollies. Larger tanks are needed for keeping multiple mollies or if breeding is intended.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 75-82°F (24-28°C), a pH level of 7.5-8.5, and moderately hard to hard water.
-
Filtration: Use efficient filtration to ensure good water quality and oxygenation. Mollies can produce waste, so regular water changes are essential.
-
Aquascape: Create an environment with live or silk plants, plenty of swimming space, and some floating vegetation to provide cover for fry. Mollies appreciate a well-decorated tank.
-
Tank Mates: Mollies are generally peaceful and can coexist with other peaceful community fish. Keep an eye on aggression, especially during breeding.
-
Diet: Gold Dust Mollies are omnivores and accept high-quality flakes and pellets. Supplement their diet with live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, and spirulina-based foods.
