Plants For Mollies

Hey Guys,
Can you please advise what plant to put in aquarium for my mollies any plant that is cheap and low light is needed will be the best , I have two mollies silver , tank size is 10gallons,

 

Java moss, Java fern and types of Anubis are all good plants. Just make sure to keep up with water changes and Mollies can be messy.

 

Our livebearer aquarium is all anubis and java ferns. They can deal with the small amount of salt in the water for the mollies.

 

I have a pair of comet also in the same tank so is it fine if I add salt ?

I don't know what you mean by comets but the Mollies don't need salt in their water.

 

FishObbessed I mean there is a pair of a comet goldfish also with mollies because right now I don't have any other tank to separate them , that's why iam asking is it okay if I add some salt in the water and what will you suggest how much salt should I put in water , Iam thinking to buy Java Moss will it be okay for comet's also ?

Where will the goldfish go or do you have another tank/pond. I wouldn't add salt unless you Absolutely have too. Java moss will be fine with them too.

Actually they do if they were raised with it and the store (PetCo) sells them in it. chromedome52 made a very informative post on this. I could never keep them alive in straight FW. Now they thrive. I am slowly acclimating them to Freshwater so they can be moved to the 150 FW.

 

I'll buy one more tank for goldfishes , what will you suggest is it okay if I'll leave them together or should I separate them ?

They need differing water temps.

 

I think mollys need at least 29 gallons...

Funny thing, I did not notice that we were talking about a 10 gal. Yeah even with the smaller molly types you need at least a 20, the larger ones need much bigger. Our sail fins are getting too big for the 37 and are going to end up in the 150.

 

Those mollies need at least a 29 gallon as they can grow quite large; female black mollies can reach 5 inches in length. The comets are a different story altogether; they will need a pond as they will reach a size most conventional hobbyists can't accommodate in a home aquarium, as they grow 12 to 18 inches. Unless you can get an aquarium that is several hundred gallons, you can't house comets or common goldfish indoors in a way that is suitable for their requirements.
