3/4” Salt water born Mollies available FREE

[2nd tank]

I introduced a group of Mollie into my reef tank after acclimating them and they are breeding. I have to maintain the herd. I have a group to share free to Bay Area reef friends. They would prefer medium to lower flow tanks.
Offering groups of 3-4 for pickup in Alameda

Nice of you to do!

I would like some. Can you hold until Friday? I have basketball practice at the Alameda Point every Fridays.

You can mix fresh and salt in the same tank?!?

New rabbit hole to head down

(Damnit. More tanks to maintain)

A few fish can live in brackish water, or water that changes salinity often, often from estuarine areas. Some of those fish can be acclimated to full-time freshwater or saltwater, mollies being a famous example.

I did this to full reef salinity with fancy guppies as well, but they require very low flow as they cannot swim fast. Perhaps they could be used in a softy nano tank.

TIL. Thank you. Rabbit hole says I can’t grow my plants in there. But they don’t look as cool as the corals you got.

What's your flow like? I've acclimated a bunch to approximately full salinity, and whenever I've put them in a high flow reef tank they seem to die in a day. I like the idea though and would love to be able to use them as a cleanup crew plus pest checker.

Does anyone know if these guys eat bubble algae?

I haven’t read any firsthand account of it happening yet.

I think they’re decent for picking at rockwork, mostly at hair algae, and have lots of neat color morphs, but they aren’t going to be a magic bullet.

Try emeralds or pithos?

No. They typically do not.

 

[Max Nano Justin]

Ooooo can I get some!? I always wanted mollies but i don't want to go through the trouble of acclimating them.

 

[Alexx]

I'd be interested as well if you have any left. I need for my main tank and the frag tank for the alge. I wonder if they would eat bubble algae as well.
