The Molly is a peaceful and attractive aquarium fish, that can be kept easily in a home aquarium. It should preferably be kept with other peaceful fish.
It is one of the most well-known aquarium fishes and nearly as easy to keep and prolific as guppies (for optimal health and breeding success, they demand fresh vegetable food like algae).
They can be kept at 1829 ?C, but their optimum temperature seems to be 2427 ?C. This is slightly higher than their guppy cousins which prefer 2325 ?C. They do best if kept in tanks with plants (preferably live, but fake will do) to give them hiding places and (although unlike guppies they tend not to eat their own young) give the fry a better chance at survival.

Mollies are the best fish for young children to care for as they are so hardy. Review by Susie Escott
Customer Rating Mollies are the best fish for young children to care for as they are so hardy. They are relatively small you can keep quite a few in a tank. As they are live breeders children can hunt for babies in the tank. I bought a dozen a year ago and now have forty!!!! The lyretails are my favourite mollie as they have such a pretty body shape, although the balloon shape is alse very interesting. Mollies come in a variety of colours as well from brights to dalmation spots. Each one can be individually identified easily making it great for kids to name and identify with. (Posted on 15/07/10)
