    So I bought a fresh water molly the other day and put it in my 55. Kinda neat it's doing well and actually drawing the other fish out of hiding lol . I've seen more of the trigger and six line in a day than i have in a month

    Dunno I think because it's a stupid fresh water fish it has no fear and hangs out in front it makes the others feel safer or somthing

    I believe mollies are mostly found in freshwater in the wild, but can also be found in brackish or saltwater.

    In a freshwater tank they do much better with added salt.

    That fish must have a pretty good constitution to go directly from fresh to full salt!
