Comments
Pot Belly Mollies are deeper bodied and shorter
from head to tail than other mollies. In a word
they look quite "comical". Mollies are livebearers
like Guppies, Swordtails, and Platies, and they
are easy to breed. Pot
Belly Mollies are also called Balloon Mollies.

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

Recommended Diet
Floating flake food and freeze dried blood worms.
Both of these foods are available in most stores
that sell pet fish. Click
here for more about feeding fish. I feed
all livebearers a few Black Worms every other day.
