Marble molly aggressive.

The only factor to keep into consideration is the fact of your fish being able to hide from bullies. The genus mollie or mollienesia as it was originally classified has some of the most beautiful and unusual varieties of live bearer fish. Mollies are very versatile fish having the unique ability to live in both freshwater and saltwater if acclimated slowly. I bought a pair of marble lyretail mollies about 2 wks ago both female.

Click on a picture below to shop and learn more about that type of molly. That seems to be a nice marble molly she may be sold as a dalmation but is different from the dalmation types sold locally. Molly fish are considered to be mid level swimmers and really love all decorations. Molly is aggressive please help.

Molly is aggressive please help. Just like the sailfin molly the lyretail stands out because of its fins but this time it s the caudal fin. It s most distinctive feature is the large dorsal fin which is taller and runs from behind the head to just before the caudal fin. One dalmatian and two black molly s.

Since then i ve figured out who the culprit was because she has been very aggressive towards the other female and my male black molly has been harrassing her trying to mate. Mollies are often colorful energetic hardy fish that are easy to feed with flake foods and they do very well in aquariums without aggressive fish. Always feed your molly with high quality food as poor quality food weakens their immune system and makes them more susceptible to fatal diseases. When mollies are compressed into a smaller living space it often increases their aggressiveness.

The behavior of the molly fish changes if it is kept in a small overcrowded tank. I m not going to tell you that some decorations are better than others because it s not completely true. I didn t realize they were both females until 2 days after purchasing one had about 22 fry swimming around when i turned on the tank light. These fish will add drama and contrast to the semi aggressive aquarium.

Just like other livebearers mollies are easy to breed and make fascinating fish for the seasoned aquarist. It surprises some aquarists to learn that mollies can grow to be at least 5 long. This variety is bred in lots of different colors and patterns. Just bought three molly s yesterday afternoon.

2 get a bigger aquarium. A group of mollies with at least three males and at least five females will usually minimize the aggressiveness of any one overly aggressive molly. The sailfin mollie is arguably one of the most exotic fish available of any genus.
