Molly Fish

            My fish that I have in my tank is a Molly fish that is black with some white specks. Meg, my partner’s, fish is a white/silver Molly fish with black spots. It looks like a Dalmatian. They swim around the tank and are friendly with each other, except sometimes they nip at each other. They also chase each other around sometimes; I think they do this out of territorial issues, since they’re both males. Male mollies are more slender than females and have a slightly longer tail fin.

1.    A Dalmatian Molly fish is a hybrid color variation that can live in freshwater or saltwater aquariums.  
2.  The Mollies can handle a pH level of 7.5-8.5.   
3. The Molly fish temperament is peaceful.  
4. They are omnivores that are a threatened species.  
5. Mollies favorite food is algae. 
6. They are a community fish that lives well with others.
7. Yet, sometimes these guys will nip at each other’s fins.  
8. The Mollies setup a division of hierarchy.  
9. The male fish is the Alpha fish. 
10. The Mollies can follow the rule of 1 inch per gallon; therefore two mollies can live in a 10-gallon tank. 

Mollies are overall a great pet fish to have since they are easy to take care of and are mainly a community fish.
