Since mollies are readily available and live bearers which breed often, we were thinking that it may be a good idea.
Of course we are not looking to throw in a molly directly into the tank, and hope for it to survive, but knowing that they are brackish fish, is it possible to have them live? I saw someone on here that said they had mollies in their tank for a year or so, I believe. We did a little bit of research and the acclimating time ranged anywhere from 4-6 hours to multiple weeks in a QT tank.
Anyone tried this, or are we out to sea with this idea entirely? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

What I have read indicated 4-6 hours or even less is possible, and shorter the better, less stressful to fish.
I never actually tried this because I had no real good reason to add my mollies to SW tank...
