Gold Mollies

[fugi14]

I was just visiting the local store to get some paint and was checking out the fish department. They had some gold mollies there, and I was enchanted by them. I usually just breed bettas, but I do have a 10 gallon that contains just two loach kuhlis and a striped fish that my oldest brother gave me. He doesn’t know what kind of fish it is, and neither do I. I will post pictures if necessary. Anyways, I haven’t boughten any mollies yet. Do you think I could buy maybe 3 or 4 of them to put in the 10 gallon?

They would be far to big when fully grown to share that size tank with or without the fish that are already in there,
they like to swim fast and enjoy a lot of space.

How big do they get exactly? The ones in the store are in a 10 gallon, and when I researched the Internet it said that they get to be about 2.5 inches...?

up to 4inch same as swordtails,
infact they can reach 6inch depending on what type you go for.
what about platys they are just as nice
