new black mollies

[juanveldez]

okay so I broke ranks today and instead of buying a really cool cichlid for my tanks I got my wife 3 black mollies 1 male and 2 females. besides the fact that they are livebearers and that they like a bit of salt in the water I know nothing else about them. I will say that the male is the healthist of the three that they had. his only problem is that his eyes are all cloudy, the others had the same thing plus ich. there are the only three fish in the tank right now it has been being used as a growing tank for some cichlids and today I moved the last of them back into the 75 gallon tank that he came from. and so I had an empty tank and I knew that my wife has been wanting them I missed her birthday cause she was feeling really sick with her pregnacy, and so today I was in town and decided to hop on over to the lfs and see what they had that she might like and came home with the 3 of them. any info will help me alot.

Mollies like to get some "green food" occasionally.

yeah, my mollies love to eat my cories sinking pellets, they have spirulina (sp?) in them. they will eat flakes, but its nice to suppliment. mine also eat bloodworms, and when i drop a shrimp pellet in, theyre on it in no time flat.
