Do You Prefer Mollies Or Swords?

[Somethings Fishy Here]

OK everybody, I've always wondered which is more popular and its time to find out!

 

[Weaver]

I honestly cant choose between them
Ive kept swordtails from the start and only bought my first mollies a little while back but I like them so much I cant see me ever not having them--badly worded but you get my drift!

Hmm, I tihnk I like mollies a little better. Just there looks and varieties make them better to me.

 

[Annastasia]

It's very close, but I have to go for Swordies. Especially Montezuma Swordtails.

Double Tail Swordtails all the way

 

[demonmagus]

Swordies rule!

Mollies are easier to take care of compared to the swordtails...especially the males. One morning I woke up and the male swortails sword was torn off him. Still in shock and don't even know why. Plus they are more aggressive towards the other fish which I also have mollies. Mollies are the BEST!

I like mollies because they are easier to breed in my experience.

 

[Krib Crazy]

Mollies more variety!!!!!

I prefer Mollies, because of variety, and they are generally more active & healthy in my area.

I have not had Mollies so my vote is a bit one-sided but I think the Sword makes the male Swordies more attractive.

Swordtails to me are just like big platys, apart from their looks they are just like platys, and if you had to ask me wether i prefer platys or mollys i'd go for mollys- swordtails are pretty, but mollys have more personality and character to me .

Swordtails.

But only since I have not had mollies since I was young.

Back then I never had luck with them.

Could have been the small tank (20 gal.) and my lack of experience with water quality.

I always found swordtails hardier.

I know better than to even purchase mollies now given my space constraints.
