Chewyrat77 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I have a 125g tank with 50 mollies/platies/variatus, one bristlenose pleco and three mystery snails. After seeing electric blue acaras at the pet store today I've been researching if I can add maybe 5-7 of these over time to my tank. Haven't really seen a list mixing these fish but I did come across a video on YouTube where someone has electric blue acaras with mollies and platies. I believe the video was by multi tank addiction. Thoughts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH Morant Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) You won't have any problem with unwanted fry surviving. EBAs will find them all and eat them up. No prisoners. I don't know of any reason you couldn't keep adults together. EBAs will be much bigger and will definitely boss the mollies around, so there would have to be enough mollies to spread the aggression around. But 50 sounds like enough. How about some pictures of the tank? Edited February 25, 2022 by HH Morant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosedub Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Mollies can live with just about anything. They are tough. As long as you have enough of them there shouldn’t be an issue. No fry will survive. I have black mollies with some medium sized cichlids and they do just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I think you will be fine you would be better off getting a young group of EBA and adding them all at the same time that should cut down on aggression instead of gradually add them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only issue with that is my quarantine tank is only a 10g. And my local fish store has them at probably around 3 inch size and it seems like they only get around 3 or 4 at a time.
