mollies to saltwater

[CCchaos04]

How would i convert mollies from freshwater to saltwater?

Slow acclimation. Raise the SG of the tank water 0.002 per week or so until full marine conditions are met. Do you have a marine tank to put them in?

With all the pretty fish in saltwater why would you want to have mollies.

 

[TKOS]

He already owns the mollies (another thread states this). But I don't think that a 15 gallon tank is going to hold much more than the mollies you already have.

well i guess ill just put the mollies in one of my freshwater tanks or ill give them to my neighbor. ill probably end up putting a couple damsels or cromides in the tank

Gets some clowns or firefish or even a nice wrasse.Welcome to saltwater!

i want to start out with damsels because they are cheap and small but i do eventually want to get a couple clowns but i might wait till i have a bigger tank.

I would avoid the damsils. They actually need a lot more space then their size dictates. Their aggressive nature makes them need big territories. Be very careful when stocking a saltwater ttank that small, salt is quite different then fresh.

well then ill probably get green cromides

Clowns or a nice 6 line wrasse would be a good starter.
