Here is a wonderful
lively group of Silver Lyre Tail Mollies
shown in an aquarium in our facility.
Scientific Name.
Poecilia latipinna.
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.

Recommended Diet
Floating Flake Food and Freeze Dried Blood Worms.
Both of these foods are available in most pet stores.
Click
here for general information about feeding fish.
I feed all livebearers a few Black Worms every other
day. Click

Compatibility
Mollies do best in a group with a few males and
several females. Mollies are good tank mates for
Swordtails,
Platies,
Angel Fish,
Corydoras Catfish, one
Plecostomus, and
Bigger Tetras such as Black Skirts, Red Serpaes,
and Silver Tips. Click
here to read more about several other groups
of compatible fish.
Size and Life Span
Mollies have a life span of between 3 and 5 years
and can grow to 5". Rarely mollies live longer and
grow bigger.
