Re: Guppy Tail Mollies!
Pffff. They call everything latipinna these days, it's really annoying. It should at least be P. latipinna something, you know what I mean? Argh, frustrated zoologist, here.

Re: Guppy Tail Mollies!
If you do wind up getting them, make sure you give them lots of vegetable matter.
With their intestines scrunched up like that, they are prone to digestive problems.

Re: Guppy Tail Mollies!
Are you talking about the digestive system in the balloon variety or both?

Re: Guppy Tail Mollies!
The balloon body type is prone to problems.
All molly species need their diets to have lots of vegetable matter.

Re: Guppy Tail Mollies!
But are guppy-tailed mollies always balloon, then?

Re: Guppy Tail Mollies!
I don't think so, the site has them listed separately.

Re: Guppy Tail Mollies!
Aw. Remember, Dino, when we were discussing muppies, and you made this remark about balloon fish being more fragile?We just didn't really see the link.  |

Re: Guppy Tail Mollies!
I got 2 guppy-tailed mollies (one black, one orange) 2 weeks ago, but the male died soon (my bad, I think) and the female died last Saturday...

Re: Guppy Tail Mollies!
The guppy tail molly at aquabid isn't a balloon molly. I don't think I like it. That big tail bends it's poor little back down. just my opinion of course.
