FishRBeautiful Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Bought these from a tank of Mollys, Platys, and Guppies sold as platys but I have my doubts. Google has ways to tell Mollys and Platys apart but I get more from just having a “feel” after watching a lot. These are so much more peaceful than the crazy Platys I’ve had in the past so what are your thoughts? Excuse the dirty tank. You may have to scroll in if you can to see the fish (black).

FishRBeautiful Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 That’s what I thought too. I thought Mollys were supposed to be aggressive. Is it normal for them to be peaceful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. Payne Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Males will chase each other and display, I wouldn't consider them aggressive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been told by all the lfs workers to get platys because Mollys are mean. But I’ve had lots of aggressive platys and these “Mollys” are completely peaceful so far. I even have tetras and Cory’s and so far, no interference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T. Payne Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 You should not have any issues keeping them with smaller species of tetras and corydoras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricksonAquatics Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Mollies aren’t any more aggressive than platys, just a tad larger. You’ll see the same sparring between males for a female as you would with your platys 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
