SwimmingBlueberry Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 So a local pet store was awesome and sold me a sponge filter from one of their established tanks. So I’m wondering and I won’t add them all at once due to my tank being new but right now I have 3 female platies and a female black Molly. Do I need more mollies I heard they can be somewhat aggressive when alone or am I ok? I was thinking if I need more will 2 more females be good? I have a 20 gallon tall. And no one is pregnant.

doktor zhivago Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 (edited) Mollys get pretty big. If its a live bearer then they're pregnant. They can keep sperm for months and months. For a 20 gallon I would probably just stick to platys. Edited June 27 by doktor zhivago spelling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Those are going to be some sad mollies. 😢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwimmingBlueberry Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 So should I rehome my black female Molly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I would. Also those platies could be pregnant if they’ve been in an aquarium with a male, so you may have way more than you expected soon. Only time will tell. ps platies are some of my faves, they’re highly entertaining and imo gorgeous. The vast array of colors and nibbling on algae in the aquarium ain’t so bad either. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
