Description: IF YOU WOULD LIKE SPECIFIC SEXES ON THE MOLLYS, PLEASE NOTATE IN ORDER NOTES. Mollys are hardy livebearers that are brackish and can adapt to different levels of salt in the water. Mollys are great for both beginner and experienced aquarists alike. They are known to be great hair algae grazers. It is best to keep a ratio of one male to two females to reduce aggression; however, this can result in a lot of live fry. If you do not want baby mollys in the tank, stick with just males or just females.
