Default Cycling a new tank? Sal****er mollies available!

Nice of you to offer them, kind of funny it started a dialog aboout how
to run in a tank.
You may want to trade them in to a nearby LFS. Try Aquarium Services,
they may set up a trade with you.

A couple of nearby LFS's used to buy my SW bred mollies. I'd convert
them over to brackish for them if they wanted. Curiously, I have
observed over the years that mollies in SW do better than in FW.
Good luck

Why not gat a smaller tank and convert them over to a brackish
environment? You may also want a hospital tank and they could be used to
keep it run-in for you? Just a thought!



I've currently got a brackish tank and was thinking of moving some of them
that way, but I thought I'd check to see if anyone might want some of the
red-eyed ******* stepfish in their current salty state, as well...

The hospital tank/mean fish isolation ward's in need of a cleaning and some
form of filter repair since it broke and killed the puffer and the damsel
living in it, and it has no lid...given the frequent splashing noises from
the nanoreef since the original pair of mollies moved in, I don't think I'd
be able to keep them contained in that for long. It normally runs brackish.

The parents along with my guppies in the nanoreef look quite
happy...freshwater mollies always look rather miserable to me.

I've just noticed an odd dorsal fin on one of the guppies that I've never
seen before (they're mostly black/orange illegitimate Endler hybrids), it's
black and quite long, and then there's a very light purple section and poof
at the end, almost like a poodle's tail! I should try and get pics with the
digital camera. The siblings of those fish are in mostly freshwater, and
none of them have quite as interesting fins...
