Molly

What is a "molly"?

A molly is a small freshwater fish that belongs to the Poecilia genus. These colorful and lively fish are popular among aquarium enthusiasts. Mollies are native to the freshwater streams and coastal brackish waters of Mexico and Central America. They come in a variety of vibrant colors and patterns, making them visually appealing. Mollies are known for their adaptability and can tolerate a wide range of water conditions. They are omnivorous, feeding on both plant matter and small invertebrates. Mollies are livebearers, meaning they give birth to live fry rather than laying eggs. They are relatively peaceful fish and can be kept with other community fish species. With their lively nature and beautiful colors, mollies add charm and vibrancy to freshwater aquariums.
