-
Tank Size: Provide a tank of at least 20 gallons for a small group of Mollies. They are social fish and should be kept in groups of three or more.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 75-82°F (24-28°C), a pH level of 7.0-8.5, and moderately hard water. Mollies can tolerate a wide range of water conditions but prefer slightly alkaline water.
-
Filtration: Use efficient filtration to ensure good water quality and oxygenation. Mollies are sensitive to poor water conditions and require good water circulation.
-
Aquascape: Decorate the tank with live or silk plants, driftwood, and rocks. Mollies appreciate hiding spots and open swimming spaces.
-
Tank Mates: Mollies are generally peaceful and can be kept with other community fish that share similar water parameters. Avoid overly aggressive or fin-nipping species.
-
Diet: They are omnivores and thrive on a diet of high-quality flake or pellet foods. Supplement their diet with live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and vegetable matter.
