Guppy Tail Mollies!

Hey gang... I WANT GUPPY TAIL MOLLIES... have you seen em... awsome!

 

Are you kidding? Does that exist? I'd love to see pictures.

Man, you're kidding? Guppy tail balloon mollies. That would be so gorgeous.

YEA - I want em... I found them at fish2u.com. They also have guppy tail balloon mollies. They are out of stock on both, but as soon as they are in I am going to order them. Check em out!

 

From the picture they have they look really cool, especially the ones that are black and yellow painted. I hope they get some in soon, I keep checking back, but no luck yet.

 

Have you got that link? Whenever I try to google it it returns results showing AND guppies AND balloon mollies, not one fish called guppy tail balloon molly

 

https://www.fish2u.com/mogb.html that's the link and u should explore the site to its pretty good

Peace Out Callum!

 

Thanks, Callum. Wow, they look amazing!

 

I got to learn how to do that linky thing...

 

its not hard all u do is copy and paste the link into the box and click post and they are awesome aren't they and that's coming from a liverbearer hating person and I better get some shut eye its like 11:30 here

Peace Out Callum!

 

Thanks! Have a good night!

 

Has anyone been able to get these fish yet... I have been waiting for fish2u.com to have them in,but they are still out of stock... I was wondering if they look as awsome in person as they do online.

 

No, no, I haven't, and am getting so curious. Can't wait til one of you gets them so we can see pix. Wondering which section to put them in, though.

 

Am, do you mean the pix of the GTM? Well, they are mollys, so I guess that's a good place.

 

Yeah, you're right. I figured are they guppies or are they mollies, but the name says it all. I really can't wait to see one. You're going to order some, right - when they're back in stock I mean?

 

Yes, hopefully. I check the site every few days to see if they have restocked...

 

It is a man made hybrid of one of the sailfin mollies.

The fish this is derived from, is native to the Atlantic coast of the US from North Carloina down Florida and around the Gulf to Mexico.

It most likely is a hybrid of Poecilia latipinna and Poecilia mexicana.

Though related to the guppy, I doubt it is a molly/guppy hybrid.

 

Thanks Dino!

On the site, they have it listed as Scientific Name: POECILIA LATIPINNA but that's all is says....

 

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.

 

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.

 

Are you talking about the digestive system in the balloon variety or both?

 

The balloon body type is prone to problems.
All molly species need their diets to have lots of vegetable matter.

 

But are guppy-tailed mollies always balloon, then?

 

I don't think so, the site has them listed separately.

 

I was kindly pointing out that Dino seems to have lost his mind!

 

I would love to see pictures..hey its possible with cross breeding but I can only n the beauty

 

yeah, but imagine if they have guppy body and a molly tail.

 

That wouldnt look too good. i'm still watching my molly.

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.

 

I saw some Guppy Tail Mollies up on Aquabid TODAY....... They are under Domesticated Livebearers....There was a picture and everything. Hope this helps.

Oh wow. Thanks for htat, Sutsina! I was wondering what it looks like. Looks weird. Funny little fish.

 

There are better pix at fish2u.com. They have both varieties listed, but neither are in stock.... still.

 

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...

 

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.
