Interesting... I guess I should do some reading about this. I hate feeding live food, but I knew I would probably have to do so when I brought the creature home.

I take it I need to slowly acclimate the mollys to salt water? It would be nice to have food for the shrimp on hand, instead of having to run out and spend about $10 a fish for a few of them.
