Molly Fish Care Guide – Palmer Aquatics
Aquarium Molly Fish tank care is fairly easy once you know some key variables. I’ve found that these fish do extremely well in planted tanks. Mollies prefer a little salt and high quality food.
Other people have additional questions?
I have a question. I have a 36 gallon bow front which is our guppy tank. I also have a 20 gallon long tank which holds two angelfish and a red fin shark. I have noticed some of yall put guppies in with your angelfish. Are they aggressive towards the guppies?
The reason I ask is because I am at a dilemma. Both angels have out grown their tank. Same with the red fin shark. I want to move them to a bigger tank but we dont have room for one right now and we are trying to move. Should I try to combine tanks? So that they have more space. Another thing is that the Angels breed often.
Hey man, just messaging you to ask about my banning from the BFK page. It looks to me as though you started the page, so I am coming to you. I have been asking for a stricter ruling to people on the page being abusive and degrading to other people, instead of helping in a positive way. No change has come and and all my comments were deleted. So I pulled the group for a democratic solution, and have been banned for this. I want to know why my actions were apparently so disruptive to the group. And if this is something that you are aware of as the proprietor of the page that the admins allow such abusers on the page to stay.
Male and female –
I have a question regarding moving a fish tank. It is a 29gT community tank. We are moving in Monday and I’m not sure how to go about moving the tank. From old house to new house is less than 2 miles My initial thought was to drain it 2/3 and transport them in the tank. Thinking about it even a small amount of water will slosh about, thus tossing the fish around.
Black Molly –
How would or have some of you go about moving?
Drain the tank completely, save the water and transport the fish in a bucket or bag? That’s 200lbs of water to carry if done that way. Fill bucket s of water from tank for fish. And just keep filter media wet. You will be fine add buckets of water back to tank with your old media and filters and you will be fine like doing 90% water change.
Hey, also have over 20 tanks and have done this more times then I wanna admit. As long as your media doesn’t dry up which with in a CPL block move is slim chances you will be find just try not to move until you are gonna have time today setup at new place.
Drain clean water in bucket. Dnt stir tank up!. Net fish into bucket. Add air line and heater. Can keep tht plugged in while doing stuff. Leave anything thts not massively heavy in tank. I take out my big rocks and slate so no broking!Now load everything in car. Unplug. Go to new house and plug right back in. Now add the rest of your water (use other buckets to transport tht too) only leave what water dnt drain out with hose in tank. Try not to stir too much. I use coolaid pitcher and lower all the way in tank so flow dnt stir. Add air and heat back in tank and add fish back when it looks clear! Have done lots and have a 125 g. Tht takes abt 6 to 8 hrs just for tht tank. Good luck. And ask if ya need anything or other tips! Also can do a water change to help with clear wter and not have to move as much!
When I first got into saltwater aquariums, I thought it would be cool to bring sand straight from the beach but did not properly store it or clean it and by the time I put it in my tank I ended up killing probably $500 worth of fish because of the bacteria that had built up in it. Not cycling.. As an adult, who truly knew better. Or forgetting to pay the electric and having it all shut off, in July, when I was on vacation. Came home to maggots… Those fish were minimum 5yrs old…big, beautiful, and EXPENSIVE. I was CRUSHED.
Starting with a betta(wanted to keep it that way), that became 23, 1 bichir, oscar, green spotted puffer, killi, some hybrid pleco and we got a juvenile jaguar cichlid today. But biggest mistake would be getting glow fish(animal abuse) our baby ornate bichir killed one and the paint was dripping out.
Hey, that’s not entirely true. Every betta is different. I had my last male in a 30 by himself for three months, happy and healthy. When the other fish arrived, I put him back in his old 3 gallon. When quarantine was over, I put him back in the 30 and he never once showed any aggression to the others. The exact opposite in fact. He was overwhelmed and stressed, started hiding all the time. I had to take him out of there.
