how much room for a molly?

[wamack]

I have this 10 gal I got off CL and I cleaned it and it's been cycling about a week, I would like to have 2 mollies. Is this too small? If not should I add the marine mix and start the cycling over? I read that most mollies at the store are kept in freshwater and need to adapt slowly to brackish.

Allowing them to live in brackish conditions is not necessary. They can do well without the salinity increased. A 10g is IMO too small especially when they have the tendency to breed very quickly.

What would be cool to put in there? I'd really like to try something brackish.

Bumblebee gobies and Chanda ranga.

A couple Bumblebee gobies would work.
