Gold-Dust Mollies??

AwesomeBean · 08-24-2007, 09:46 PM

When I went shopping for my 5 Gallon Tank today, I saw the prettiest fish EVER!!! It's a nice little Gold-Dust Molly. They are long and pretty skinny. But I don't know ANYTHING about them. I'm searching them now to see what I can find, But any extra help would be nice!
Here's a picture of what they look like but I don't think it's actually them:

My Girlfriends brother has one EXACTLY the same. All I can say is they are HARDY AS HELL!!

He's not the best at keeping them, and his orange one (same as pic) was once completely covered in whitespot. Pulled through with proper treatment and they breed constantly.

The molly in the link is actually a Golden Salifin molly (sometimes called an albino molly). Mollies are very popular and are available in a wide range of colors and fin sizes, and types. I've been keeping them in my tanks for many years. Mollies in general are very hardy fish and relatively low maintenance, they deliver their fry live and are very proliferate, their diets are very simple, they eat a variety of foods from dry to live. You should be able to find lots of information about them on the internet and in book stores.
