I'm new to fish and recently bought some mollies. I've read somewhere that they like real plants. What would be the best plant for them? I've got a 29 gallon tank, and I don't want one that will fill the whole tank. Thanks.
best plant for mollies

Mollies enjoy a lot of vegetable matter in their diet (read: plants), so they'll graze on algae and probably chew on soft plants to a degree. If you want something they'll enjoy living with, any plant that will grow in your tank conditions will keep them happy. If, however, you're looking for tonight's veggie entree I'd stick to soft plants - hygro. polysperma, water sprite, ambulia, etc. Any of the above will probably all get nibbled; if not for the plants themselves, at least for the microscopic life and algae found on the leaves.
maybe some stem plants like hornworts, fanworts/cabomba, or pondweeds
they are soft and can be nibbled from time to time but they do grow fast so not much of a problem there
and several stems grouped together make a good hiding place for fry if ur planning on having some
gud luk wid watever u decide

Just Wanted To Say Thanks A Lot For Your Help. Also, I've Got Another Question. How Can I Tell The Males From The Females? If There Is A Way For Someone With Little Experience That Is.

hi there again..
its not that hard to distinguish between males and females...
u just have to look at their anal fins..
males have a pointed anal fin w/c is actually the gonopodium, a rod-like structure they use to inseminate the females..
while females have a fan-shaped anal fin
and males are usually more slender than the females
sorry i don't have a pic, it wud be easier to understand if i had one, maybe u can try searching for pics of males and females

Thanks a lot for the info and for the pics. I guess it is pretty easy to see the difference, isn't it.

Yes but that is only in wild caught mollies. Most store bought fish tend to be freshwater only and do not require salt. What they do need is the hardness.midiamin said:
