I have one silver molly and 7 molly fry in a 3.5 gallon. The fry live with guppy fry and the molly mum lives with 2 platys and 3 white clouds in a heavily planted 15 gallon. I have had her in freshwater since I bought her, just over a month ago.
I read on the internet that mollies can live in either fresh or brackish water, but I wanted to ask someone else here about it that has more experience with mollies than me.
They live in fresh water and have not shown any signs of disease or distress. But I wonder if they will eventually, because from what I read here, people have recommended keeping them in brackish water. Can they get sick or be more prone to illness in freshwater? Will the fry grow faster or better in a brackish tank?
