i didnt kill any. i should have vever gotten that fish! it was the last one in the tank and they said theyve had the fish for about 2 weeks and they were going to get rid of it because they needed the tank for other fish. i saved it and it was mean, i know it doesnt know that but still. i should have never gotten it!
are baloon mollies mean like dalmations? i like them. and they seem nice.

I know this is off topic, but besides the actual topic, I just wanted to address what some people & WRS are still discussing. I'm not looking for an argument or anything, it's just my opinion.
WRS - I've read ur last topic, & I have to say I don't agree with what happened to your molly - even though your methods of attempted euthanasia did not work, the gourami probably did take advantage of the molly being a little confused/scared by everything happening, even though the molly bit it first. That being said, I understand that you didn't feel like you had any other options, & I do appreciate having to euthanase any fish (or other animal) can be a very difficult thing to do. But I think that posting the topic in the first place leaves you open to everyone's opinions, so don't post if you don't want responses. I don't know if there are other fish forums that would not respond so negatively to your post, but if you feel so uncomfortable here, I suggest you check into it (not saying I don't want you here, you've helped me out heaps in the past....just that if you're not happy here, maybe there's somewhere more suited to you).
To everyone else - I think it's been made fairly clear where everyone stands on this issue, and I don't think that repeatedly bringing the topic up is going to help the situation. I, also, hope that WRS has learnt from this experience, but there's only so much we can do to ensure that. For the sake of peace and not giving the forum a bad reputation, I think it would probably be best if any further discussion of the topic were to take place through some kind of messenger service. It's really not helping anybody here, and we can't make our position on the topic much clearer; we're really wasting our time arguing when there are topics much more worthy of being replied to (though I completely understand where you're coming from and agree with all you who disagree with WRS on this topic).
Sorry if what I said annoys people or is offensive in any way, I just don't like seeing people fighting all the time over something that is never going to be able to change. Also, I say bring on the answers to any of WRS's less controversial topics - answers to any (sensible) posts is going to be a great help to others, especially newbies.
As for long-living fish - I have no idea sorry, but provided with great water conditions, a heater (if required) an appropriate filter, a big enough tank, some compatible tankmates, and everything else needed, all fish species are likely to live a happy & healthy life & bring you much pleasure. Happy posting people

Big fish
Mollies are not particularly mean fish even the dalmations However if you put them in a situaltion whee they are attacked or feel attacked they can be very ornery and are quite capable of holding there own against fish that may be much larger than themselves.
That being said it the reason other people are not getting the treatment that you feel you are getting is that he fish loveing population of this forum find what you have done to be particularly objectionable. And its not harrasment it would be harrasment were youto have not done something so objectable as to treat a fish that way. That being said I think It would be nice of a mod were to remove all of the replys not haveing to do with the subject at hand.
---Subject at hand---
Koi live a long time as well as goldfish and many of the larger tetras. However if you want a fish to have a long life it is important to UNDERSTOCK. and give the fish ample room to excersize that means putting two oscars in a 100 gallon instead of a 65 and mabey keeping a single commet in a 55 gallon instead of the traditional 55 comets in a 55.
