Acclimating Mollies from Freshwater to Saltwater

I have some mollies in my freshwater tank, and I have an empty 10-gallon saltwater tank. I was considering transferring my mollies from freshwater into saltwater. I've read that drip acclimation is the most important thing in transferring them, because it has to be a slow process and not a heavily drastic change. I have done drip acclimation with my inverts, so this is no problem for me. Has anyone had any experience transferring mollies from freshwater to saltwater? Any more tips besides the drip acclimation?

I think if anything the most limiting factor would be if these mollies were raised in freshwater vs brackish water. Good luck.

just drip acclumate for an hour and should be fine. I've never done it but that is what I've heard when doing such a thing

Thank you. I've seen videos of others doing the drip acclimation for up to an entire day, so I'll probably do it for a couple of hours if I decide to do it.

I've got a sunset sailfin female in my salt, she was honestly pretty much dropped in after a little saltwater was added to the bag and let her sit for a minute (few minutes), her companion passed after a bout with ich (not from the mollies).
