Did You See The Sailfin Mollies?

Just a fleeting glimpse, a the water filled cave shaft, but I did enjoy it. Good to see that these fish really do come from a real place.

What really got me though were the cave mollies later in the programme; they seemed to be living pretty well in sulphuric acid. Now there is a habitat that would be difficult to reproduce in the home aquarium. Not a biotope I'll be going for.

That's cool, wish I had cable I've always liked I think it's the sail finned silver mollies, which were the other fish i thought about getting when i started my 55 gal...decided to go with the goodeids though...maybe if i had another big tank that i could do for brackish fish i'd get some...but right now no money for that

Well, it's bound to be out on DVD by next year, they seem to be bringing them out faster and faster these days.

I am also very attracted by sailfin mollies, they're the only common livebearer I have not yet kept (did keep black mollies once) and I do love the way the males display.

yeah that's cool...im seriously thinking that next round of tank buying is going to be for brackish fish...i noticed they had dwarf puffers at the PetSmart near me...I'd never seen them alive before...real small though..

FYI I got the dwarf puffers, they're actually freshwater and are doing fine in my little 5 gallon right now...
