Dalmation Molly

Mollies are some of the easiest species to raise once you know what you are doing. They can be raised equally in fresh water, brackish, or fully saltwater.

The key to keeping mollies is that the tank needs to get an adequate amount of sunlight, so that natural algae can grow in the tank, which they will quickly devour like crazy. Only the green algae, not the hard or blue-green algae.

Also, they need an abundance of live plants if possible, or vegetable flakes of some kind. They are omnivorous, but are mostly on the vegetarian side. The tanks need to be large and warm, no lower than 24°C or they will start to shimmy. At lower temperatures they will develop all kinds of illness: ich, velvet (most common) and flukes. 25-26°C is ideal.
