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

Recommended Diet
Floating flake food and
freeze dried blood worms. Both of these foods are available in most
stores that sell pet
fish. Click
