Golden Speckle Molly
Poecilia latipinna
Molly fish are a hardy, easy fish that can be acclimated to either salt or freshwater. They are compatible with smaller community fish and larger fish.
Mollies tend to have a bigger appetite than most fish, so it is recommended to have a good filtration system to make up for the extra feedings they will want. Mollys can grow to a length of 5 inches, and while they do not school they do swim in a shoaling pattern, so they prefer to be with their own kind. A group of 5 is recommended for them to feel safe in the aquarium.
They are omnivores and prefer both meaty foods and algae. High quality flake food should be given alongside freeze-dried bloodworms and brine shrimp.
Golden Speckle Molly Specifics
The Golden Speckle Molly grows to a size of at least 4-1/2”, so a tank of at least 30g for a group of at least 5 is optimum. They prefer their water to be between 68-82oF and their pH between 7.0-8.0.
