Much like guppies, they are hardy livebearers known for their wide range of colours. Much like Guppies, Mollies thrive in most conditions and reproduce extremely quickly. That said, they are a bit larger and require a little more room. It is recommended that tanks be stocked with a 1:3 Male to Female ratio, in order to ensure less aggression between males when they try to assert dominance.
