Here is a wonderful lively group of Silver Lyre Tail Mollies shown in an aquarium in our facility.
Scientific Name: Poecilia latipinna, Poecilia sphenops, hybrids of these two species, and perhaps other species of Mollys.
Comments Lyre Tail Mollies have a spike at the top and bottom of its tail fin. People with lots of imagination think the outline of these tails has the shape of a lyre, which is a musical instrument invented a long time ago. Mollies are livebearers like Guppies, Swordtails, and Platies. Livebearers are easy to breed. Click here for more about details about breeding Mollies, caring for the babies, and feeding baby Mollies.
Click here to listen to Tom and Nevin, The Bailey Brothers, talk about keeping and breeding Guppies and Mollies.
We can easily determine the gender of our Mollies, and you can order the number of males and the number of females you want. For example you might order, "One male and two female Black Lyre Tail Mollies, plus one male and two female Gold Lyre Tail Mollies."
Whatever fish you order, we'll always do our best to catch the fish that match the description that you send us. There are some fish like Oscars and Goldfish that we cannot determine the gender, but we can always determine the gender of Mollies and other Livebearers, and we will ship you the gender you prefer.
I love this site. My question is my daughter got a gold molly today and I think she is pregnant but not for sure. If she is will she get huge? I just want to know if I need to prepare. I have had black mollies in the past and they were always pretty skinny fish.
Thanks!
Tracy
Reply. Hello Tracy. I appreciate you compliment about this web site. Thank you. The color of your female molly will make no difference. She is almost surely pregnant and will get big and have lots of babies. So you and your daughter should prepare. Click here to go to another page in this web site with lots of information about how to care for your female and the babies that she will soon release.
This picture was taken in our facility of big aquarium full of Silver Lyre Tail Mollies for sale. Lyre Tail Mollies are available in all the usual colors: Black, Gold, Dalmatian, and other rarer colors. All are very nice.
Appropriate Home Mollies need an aquarium with at least 15 gallons of water, an External Power Filter with a BIO-Wheel, 1/4 inch or less of gravel, and an Aquarium Heater adjusted to between 78 and 82 degrees F. Click here for more about warm water aquariums. Like most livebearers Mollies will do better with 1 Tablespoon of Aquarium Salt per 5 gallons of water. Click here for more about Aquarium Salt.

About our Fish Photographs ...
Almost all the photographs and videos, shown on this web site, were taken
by us in our aquariums of our fish. Compare the healthy,
beautiful, energetic fish in our beautiful aquariums to the
fish in our competitors pictures. Their fish often look thin
with clamped fins and poor color.
We buy the highest quality fish, produced by the best fish
farms or caught by the best collectors of wild fish, then we take incredibly good care of our fish in our beautiful aquariums. If you compare the pictures on this site to our competitors pictures, you can instantly see, our fish and aquariums are better!
;^ }
Will the fish you get from us look like the fish in our pictures? No! This is similar to buying kittens and puppies, that will change as they grow to become cats and dogs. We stock and ship fish that are the ideal size to sell. Not so small that they will not do well when shipped. Yet not so big that they have become much more expensive. The fish in almost all of our pictures were young fish like the ones we have for sale that we raised up, and you can too!
