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,
Mike

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.

Re: Molly Fish Photos

Here is one of the fry (we've got 13 in a nursery tank). He's hiding between the two huge marbles at the front.

And here's my fat lady gorging herself on zucchini with my pleco. I'll try to film them when they eat pea. It's hilarious!

Re: Molly Fish Photos

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!

Re: Molly Fish Photos

OK, here's an experiment we've tried. I've posted one of them under the 'fry picture' thread, but the adults do it too, so here goes. We had some spare mini-jar ornaments so we figured we'd try these for our molly fry to hide in. After 2 seconds of the things being in the tank, loads of the fry explored them, attracting the attention of more fry. Result: loads of the bigger fry tried to squeeze in there at the same time, causing a huuuuge mess of tails and heads all trying to go in and out of the mini-jars. This little circus started 3 hours ago, and is still going on! The funniest thing is the adults then started to try to squeeze through the jars. Sooooo funny.
