Mollys In Salt Water

[Snappy]

I have done it a few times with a few molly species and they will thrive but I would not call them algae eating machines. A foxface or scopas tang will out perform them in that regard.

I'll still give it a try, I'm kinda off tangs for the moment.

I have done it with Black Mollys and aclimated slowly over 2 days. They didnt seem interested in algae at all so i took them back out after a month or so.

I had a couple for a while, can't say they ate much algae, easily outperformed by a turbo snail.. As already stated, just acclimatize slowly.

Oh yes, and they were dumb as a sack of hammers too - kept bugging a tomato clown, which is just not smart...

So after a bit of reading and from what I've heard in here, it's mostly just a myth about them enjoying algae?

I tried this not too long ago , and well they died . I was trying baloon mollies dont know if that makes a difference.Aclimatised them over 8 hours they where in the tank for a day then dead. Im sure this is entirelly posible and i just did it wrong .

i use mollies in 1 of my frag tanks at work. i dont feed that tank so theyonly can survive off what they find...algea
