Salty Sardine Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 How would you rank them in order from the most simple to the most challenging to keep a breeding population going? In my experience, I have little to no trouble with keeping endler and platy going. My white-ish swordtails look like they're heading in the same direction with their fry growing up quick. It's the mollies I had trouble keeping for some reason, they don't seem to fare well as other livebearers in 200L tank full of java fern and moss. They just kind of slowly vanish without leaving any offsprings. Is there something specific to mollies care that I wasn't aware of? Supposedly their care should be same as for other livebearers, but it didn't feel like the case for me. Apart from guppy, platy, swordtails, mollies, and leopardfish, are there other type of livebearers available in New Zealand? I read about halfbeaks in older topic but I don't think I ever seen them in aquarium however. Gambusia is a major no-go for obvious reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Mollies often do better with a bit of salt but your plants may not feel the same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty Sardine Posted February 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 How much salt to add, like what specific gravity or percentage salinity? Also do they need to be marine salt as opposed to aquarium salt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
