Description
Black Mollies are native to South America, but can also be found in the waters of Asia. They are a popular fish in the hobby for their pure black bodies and beautiful large sail fins (for the males). Their habitat includes freshwater streams and brackish coastal sea waters and swamps.
They are peaceful fish but should only be kept with other fish that can tolerate the same water conditions. Black Mollies prefer more alkalic and harder waters compared to other general community fish. Tankmates can include other Molly species, some rainbowfish, and hard water tolerant barbs, and tetras.
They are omnivorous and will eat commercially available fish food. They will also eat some algae and detritus in the aquarium.
FUN FACT: Black Mollies are actually Mollies born with serious melanism, which makes the fish an opposite of an albino.
