Saltwater Balloon Mollies?!

Yesterday vap and I went to get 6 freshwater mollies from BA Ken.

We got 2 white ones, 2 black ones and 2 gold ones...all for the low price of 2 for $1.99... :) Can't beat that price... :P

We wanted to do an experiment...can freshwater mollies live, thrive and possibly breed in the saltwater tank? Most importantly, will they eat any of the hair algae currently living in our tank?

Of course, we dripped the mollies for at least several hours... During that time, we walk walked and stand stand and watche a movie as well... When we checked on them periodically, they appeared to be breathing although not swimming much...maybe they were scared... :P So when the time was right, vap dropped each one into the tank. We were able to locate 2 white ones, 1 black one and one gold one... As for the others, we just hoped they survived and didn't die immediately upon entering the tank... :(

So, all in all, they seemed to be ok and swimming a bit...

Will have to check on them later to see what has happened since last night...

Hi - I've kept Mollies in a tank with my seahorses for ages. They breed occassionally - some of the fry mature, while others just end up as food for the seahorses. I've found they're actally easier to keep in marine than in freshwater.
