I got some Balloon Mollies

[Elisabeth83]

I went to one of the bigger pet stores today and walked out with 6 balloon mollies and 1 beautiful betta

I've never owned balloon mollies before they sure are adorable arn't they? I put them in my 26 gallon which has 2 female swordtails, 1 molly, 2 SAE and 1 bristlenose.

I got 2 males and 4 females. 2 of them are black, 1 is orange, black and a little white, 2 are whitish with orange stripes and 1 is orange with a coulple black spots. )

The tank is cycled but this is the most fish I've added at one time...I shouldn't have any problems should I?

Just keep a watch on the parameters. You should soon have a full tank with lots of babies

Get some betta pics up in the betta forum.
We'll come to your party!

I think you should be fine.

How often do you do water changes?
What filter do you run on your 26g?

haha

I tried to take some pictures yesterday of the new guy but they didn't turn out good. I'll try again tomorrow and post them in the betta section

Well because I have the bristlenose in there and he poos so much and I hate seeing all the poo on the sand I tend to do about 2 25% water changes a week. I also clean the sponge filter at the same time as it's always so dirty It's gotta be the bristlenose because in my other tanks I run the same filter and they are never that dirty. The water is Brown after squeezing it in the old tank water ewwwww

Hey 2 x 25% water changes per week is gooooood fish keeping. Admiration to you!!!
Sounds like your fishes are well loved
Looking forward to seeing the pics of your new fish I've never seen balloon mollies.
