Unfortunately I can't get video. Here are some pics in the moment though. Since my post I have read up and it sounds like swimming to the mid and upper tank levels is normal for them. I am going to attempt moving my hang on back filter to see if they are following the current and are just by the...

Ok, so let me make sure I have this right - my mollies problems are signs of and/or most likely related to water salinity issues, with hardness being the secondary problem. Also, while it may not be visible, all my fish will be living shorter and worse lives due to salty water. I will monitor...

Ok everyone, I appreciate your advice, and after spending today reading through the articles and you alls explainations, plus visiting 2 more hobbyists for answers, I think I will keep my water the way it is. I understand that in your view I may be harming my fish; while this may be true, people...

Thanks, reading now. Yes I have heard of this. My mollies are fairly active however. I appreciate the support, I will make a post in live bearers addressing this. Trying to stay on topic. My wellwater is hard. Not sure by how much, I can check if it's important I guess. The test results are...

Thank you for the advice. I do use sodium chloride to soften my well water. However like I said to NCaquatics, I've done it for years and haven't been told its dangerous to my fish. Again, not saying I disagree, but I have never heard of this from research or my stores.

Ok thanks. Do I need to worry about my other fish eating those too? Fantastic suggestion, thanks. Will start trying that immediately. I have read this from many people on the forums, personally I have been keeping mollies for about 3 years using the same water, and neither of the fish...

I have been keeping mollies on and off for about 3 years now, and have had the same water used for the whole time, and neither of the local fish hobbyists I go to have said the water was too soft for mollies. Can you elaborate on the effects of soft water on mollies? Would it not visibly harm...

Ok, I have been doing this for a while now and usually 3 or 4 corys find it before they are descended upon by some cardinals and my mollies. Like I said, if they are getting enough food by sharing the wafers and eating fungus and the very few leftovers, I wouldn't worry, but if not I am looking...

Thanks, how often would you recommend doing this? And can any of my other fish eat this too? I would prefer a food that they don't have to compete for.

For context, I have a 30 gal tank with Current Satellite LEDs, moderately planted with gravel bottom, mostly hornwart, water sprite, swords and java ferns, lots of driftwood, lots of tannins. My fish are 15 cardinals, 8 pygmy corys and 5 cherry shrimp. I have two female lyretail mollies and one...
