Molly experiment

[seggsy]

I had heard that most brackish fish can be acclimated to full salt - I knew about puffers.  I had planned on trying some guppies just for fun, but never got around to it.

Was looking for a new piranha for my daughter last night, and decided to try a acclimate a molly.  So, I spent the evening slowly acclimating (I had planned on spending a few days, but heard they can handly acclimation in a few hours).

Added it to the frag tank last night and looks fine!  Very weird.  Not sure I'd want a school in my DT, but we shall see.  Might have to try some guppies.  Or get a few more mollies and see how they breed in there.

I had 6 black mollys in my DT for 30 sec. and my sixline decided they are lunch! There was no way of saving them! Eventually 2 ended up in my sump, where they got picked up by the return pump and they were ground up for coral food!

Maybe I should setup a nano tank this year. When I read these SW post it always gives me the itch again. LOL

Apply some Gold Bond to the top of your head let it soak in till the itch leaves spend a little now save lots later.

Lmfao so true. Its very addicting though
