Photos of Gold Dust Lyretail Mollies

[Tony Griffitts]

Picked up these Gold Dust Lyretail Mollies (Poecilia sphenops) from one of our sponsors AquaWorkz a couple weeks ago.  They are doing great in the quarantine tank.  I always use PraziPro on all new fish to help eradicate any gill and skin flukes they may be carrying. It is a myth that mollies need to be kept in brackish water to stay healthy.  You only need to keep them in hard alkaline water.  I add 1 teaspoon baking soda (sodium bicabonate), 1 teaspoon calcium chloride (Turbo Calcium), and a 1/2 teaspoon epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) per 10 gallons to keep Poecilia sphenops healthy.

Hi Tony,

 

Those are very pretty fish. Great advice, too. Thanks for sharing very nice photos.
