A Pack of Dalmatian Lyretail Molly Fish
A group of fish might be called a school, but the Dalmatian colors of these fish are just like a Dalmatian puppy’s, so we had to call this little group of black and white pets a pack.

These fish are adorable with their classic black and white spots. They’re very peaceful and don’t fight with other fish. I’ve had them for three months and they’re active but not aggressive. The packaging was secure and the fish were healthy when received.

Great addition to my community tank. They look like real Dalmatian puppies and are easy to keep. I feed them a mix of flakes and blanched vegetables every day. They stay active and don’t seem stressed.

Perfect for a small aquarium. The fish are lively and stay calm even with other species. I love how they blend in with the decor and their colors are vibrant. Very satisfied with the purchase.
