Molly Fish Photos

Please use this topic to post your molly photos. I'll leave it stickied so it appears at the top of the posts.

Thanks,

Re: Molly Fish Photos

This is my serial rapist male dalmatian sailfin. He never leaves the ladies alone. I guess it's just his nature, but what a pain! Oh, and for some reason he doesn't feed at the surface. He just waits for what little uneaten food there is at the bottom.

Re: Molly Fish Photos

This is my mystery male. After posting him on the ID section of Fishlore, opinions are that there is the following molly types in him: swordtail, common, albino and sailfin. He's a little subdued by the other male, but starting to have his way with the ladies too. P.S. He was sold to me as a female platy!!!

Re: Molly Fish Photos

This one's my absolute favorite. She's a female dalmatian balloon molly. She has the best temperament ever. She is really socialized to humans and is always the first one to check out what's happening outside of the tank. Adorable. Impossible to take pictures of other fish because she's always the first to swim up to me against the glass.

Re: Molly Fish Photos

OK, she's the mother of fry I've just had. She's been poorly lately, but is on the mend thankfully. She's huuuge and even bullies the males when it comes to food.

Heres my balloon molly... I'm not sure what type she is. She has yellow streaks running along her sides and yellow spots on her top (dorsal?) fin.

Re: Molly Fish Photos

- Here's a couple of the fry. These fry were from my previous Dalmation Molly, whom we got pregnant and didn't know it. Unfortunately she died halfway through birth leaving us with 9 living fry. . . They are growing along nicely and they are so used to me they swim to my fingers if i'm "in" the tank for any reason.

Re: Molly Fish Photos

I was looking at the whilte lyretail again and she's gorgeous.

Here's my 2 newest finned companions: meet my white and pale orange female mollies. They live in a 72L with the dalmatian male.

The white one has the greatest personality. She follows me around and eats from my hand. She's not the brightest bulb in the pack, though. She keeps eating gravel, then spitting it out. Duh!

The orange one is a right so and so with food. She'll attack the other fish if they get anywhere near the surface at feeding time. Seems to be an orange molly trait in my tanks! Oh, and I could only get a picture of the orange on 'in action' as my male doesn't seem to want to leave her alone... Prudes, avert your eyes!

These pics are posted to try to determine sex of all. I am having a lot of aggression from the little white mollies against the dalmation in particular. Alth9ugh the white one will also take after the big black sailfin sometimes too. I am not sure if this is play or what, but the dalmation and the small white pearl molly really get into it, with a lot of posturing, grabbing each others top fin etc. However, there are no signs of injury, no bites, rips or tears.

The best pics I took were too large to send, so hoping Chief Water Changer can cast some light on this predicament.

They truly all look like males to me....

I think I just got 2 pearl mollies who are too big for their britches - the four sailfins are three times their size.

Sailfins are Black - alpha fish
Dalmation
Marble & Gold.

Thanks, Val

Here's my neurotic male. He's really nice to me, and totally anti-social with the other fish. Caught him mid-pout.

He's in the shot with two pygmy corys.

OK, this is what happens when you put food in the little amphoras.

So first he does a practice eating face, then a careful sniff, then half the face ends up in the pot.

OK, here's some more pictures of our happy family.

1/ Male dalmatian black-white sailfin. The flash makes it look like I've Photoshopped it. I don't know why, his markings don't come out well with the flash.
2/ Male chocolate sailfin with female dalmatian brown balloon sailfin. She's my all-time favorite fish.
3/ Female dalmatian black-white sailfin, female dalmatian orange-black sailfin. I love they're 'Are you talking' to me?' look, LOL
4/ Female pale orange sailfin. I don't find her very attractive, but I really needed two females at the time to keep my isolated male company. I got her at the same time as my beloved white one, who was a sibling. Sadly, she passed away last week.

And here's more pictures of my little molly family.

1/ Some mollies in the foreground, and a loach burying itself in the floating plant, like they love to do.

2/ Orange/black and black/white females. Both quite heavily pregnant.

3/ That photo of the spotted orange/black one is the best I have of her. It really captures her dominant dignity - she's totally the alpha animal of the group, she even dominates the males.

4/ Pale orange female.

5/ That last photo is another tank. To the left is one of the balloon fry I got out of two normal mollies. She was so cute we kept her. She's now about 4 months old. She's the exact replica of her mom (the big, black/orange female) except she's a balloon. If you look to the right, you'll see a male orange molly and a female sunset platy facing the camera, being their nosy selves.

Here's another close-up of my chocolate molly (male, obviously). On this shot, you can see his special brown eyes.

The other one's of my balloon being a pig as usual. She's gorging herself with algae from the hamster maze.

I finally got a good pic of my favorite balloon molly snowy. She is so white that it's hard to get a pic of her that's not a white blur.

The second picture is my little black molly Patch. As a fry he was all white with a black patch..now his name really doesn't fit him. He is in LOVE with Snowy and she gets all his attention.

The last picture is Luna, the black lyre tail dalmation who is so aggressive that she now has her own 5gal hex. The other is one of my dalmation fry who is now full grown. She is one of 3 that look almost exactly the same, so I can't tell who is who from the pic.
