Yesterday they were 50% off so I got three pairs at the Hidden reef! They look great all but one male that probably won't make it.

The creamsicle mollies sound great. Nice pics of the orange ones.
I started to go to the hidden reefer on saturday but never made it out of the house. I guess I shoulda went although I figured I can make my own sale after 12/1 with their coupons on the same sale flyer. I was probably watching that phillies world series clinching game again:D

I was there once, and this was about 2 years ago. I thought that the price of their dry goods was excellent and a really nice selection as well.

Hey they look great And healthy too. I have been avoiding buying fish there recently because the livebearers are not adjusting well to the central system. I wanted to add some hi fin platies they had recently and they were shimmying. I'll have to get over there next week and see what's around.

Nice fish Ed. When I have some babies from my orange mollies I throw you some babies to grow up . I'm crossing the females to a beautiful lyretail orange salefin. here is a pic of him

That sounds cool. I was going to buy a albino to mate with my male . I wont have to now since yours is a albino strain.

Nice fish! THese are albino animals, so they could be a little more touchy. Poecilias do not handle line breeding generally as well as other Poecilidae livebearers. Even though they are hybridized from several species since the 1920s.

Fancy sailfin mollies really do best with higher temps near 80F, and calcium hardness in the water (Crushed coral works well). They do not withstand ammonia as well as other fish.

They also like their space. I would not keep more than a trio in a 15 gallon tank (24") MAX.
