Stumbled on these guys by accident! I was finding leads on where my recent stock of Liberty mollies came from, one lead to another, I seen cave mollies. I asked about it and my liberties. I couldn’t pass them up!! I was told they are slow growers, so I won’t be able to breed them for awhile but still good enough!!! Downside my gf was disappointed in me. I promised to stop buying fishes (after I couldnt stop myself from bidding on small group of Girardinus metallicus at my last local fish club big fall auction), but aye when you’re passionate about something it’s hard to resist. I had these guys on my list for a few years. Never really thought, I’ll ever get the chance to keep them. Seller told me they are very slow growers but I’m used to slow growing species. This will be fun to watch them grow and breed for me! I’ve been very interested in Mexicana complex for so long I love the species and forms in the complex!
The location for these guys is Tapijulapa, Tabasco, Mexico. Azufre #1 is CA V (Chamber 5, the entrance) they get very dim light even though they are in that cave chamber. There’s a handful of other papers on sulfur and cave mollies. They seem to be in conjunction of each other. So these guys are sulphur cave morphs. And there’s sulphur surface morph, non sulphur cave morph and ofc regular non sulphur surface mexicana forms. Variable as heck and interesting to read on them.
