Oh well...my neons are dying ne by one

[kevin007]

i used to ahve 8 now i only have 2

so now i have an 10 gallon tank with

3 platties (moved my female to other tank because she was bullied after giving birth)
2 neons ( i dont plan on getting any more of these.)

u think it'll be good to get 4 ballon mollies? they seem cute and they breed easy? since i have 1 platty fry and 4 guppy fry now, wouldnt mind more!

adn will i need salt for the mollies?

Good call, neons are a waste if you ask me. I think Balloon Mollies are brackish http/www.liveaquaria.com/product/scateg....d=21&pCatId=954

Yeah I think drobbins is right Mollies are Brackish

I have mollies, they are not brackish as such but they do benefit from a little salt added to the water.

I think you should still get a couple of neons at least to make up the ones that are left, whether they are "a waste" or not.

i'll give the neons to a friend to add to his 8 neon school

i got another question!!! since ballon mollies are hybrid...when they breed, will the fry be normal ones or ballon mollies when they grow up?

What are balloon mollies hybrids of? I never knew that.

Well if it's 2 balloon mollies then I'd imagine the fry would be balloons too.

Not sure though.

Careful... if they have a disease you might kill his fish off too.

I hear this is common:

Although very pretty, neons are a pain. Very sensitive.
