Sailfin Molly set up

[mikem499]

Hi everybody. I have anew 55 gal and want to transfer my sailfin molly's to it from the 20 gal. I want to have it set up like a natural molly habitat. Does anyone have any suggestions

That would be a little difficult to do. If you have been using salt in your water you could set up a brackish water tank. But if the molly has been used to freshwater than a lot of salt in the tank could stress it to death. Maybe you could set up a mangrove tank? I am not sure what other fish are brackish fish from Central America besides some of the other livebearers like guppies.

I add salt to the tank and have a few plants in it. I was thinking about a planted tank with a sand bottom. I am not all that well vesed in the needs of a planted tank and was wanting to take a shot at it.
