My New Tank And Mollies

[random919]

I have just set up my new tank and am waiting for the cycle to take place before i add my fish. i want to get mollies but i have heard that they are unsociable and will hurt some other fish. What ones would you suggest for me to put in with them. i want to get an alge eater if possible. I have a 70L tank which is quite tall. How many fish should i put into it at maximum too.
Thanks

Hi

Firstly, I am no expert, but my tank is the same size as yours. My 2 black mollies seem perfectly happy with my 4 neon tetras and 4 harlequin rasboras. No bullying, nipping or anything.

Mollies are generally peaceful fish random919. I have sometimes had some who were as aggressive as typical African cichlids but that is rare indeed. Far more often they are real pussycats.
