Missing mollie?

haa I checked the floor.. I'll see if it turns up? I dont see how it could even get into my sump at all knows.

 

They have SW mollies? I thought they could on be in FW?

 

They can be acclimated to saltwater along with quite a few other freshwater fish,I know a green spotted puffer is another,they usually are found where a river mouth meets the ocean or close to and have adapted to accept a big swing in sg where the freshwater and saltwaters meet.

 

Wow thats awesome learned something today! Hope you find it

 

Actually Green Spotted Puffers are a SW fish, it's just that the young are usually born in FW, like salmon....but the adults are SW fish.

I aclimated my 2 tanks with the same pair of SW aclimated Mollies which had a sm brood of fry before going SW then proceeded to have 2 larger batches in the SW tanks.
-Moral of story being if you cycle with 2 or more Mollies, make sure they're of the same gender.

 

hahaha oh the guy at the store definitely checked for me. we made sure they weren't knocked up either

 

do you own a cat??

 

Nope no cats im allergic. I they both died . I couldn't find it because it was really hard to see in the over flow.

 

probably just found a good hiding spot or something, or it jumped. one question tho wouldnt it be simpler just to cycle with a clown or damsel or some other hardy fish? nothings wrong just seems like acclimating a molly to saltwater would be a pain in the butt. well i guess mollies odnt get aggressive

 

when I bought it it was salt water. And I wasn't sure if my tank was going to cycle, since I transfered over everything... but I have two clowns Im going to wait a few weeks and keep testing my water.
