Assorted Molly

Description
Assorted Mollies are a colorful mix of hardy livebearing fish available in a wide range of varieties, including black, dalmatian, gold, lyretail, and sailfin types. Known for their adaptability and active behavior, mollies are a staple in freshwater community aquariums. They are constantly on the move and add vibrant variety to any tank. Mollies are also livebearers, meaning they give birth to free-swimming fry, making them especially popular with beginners and breeders alike.
