The Balloon Molly arrived healthy and active. They adapted quickly to my tank and are now swimming together in a group. Easy to care for and very colorful. I feed them flake and frozen food twice a day.

These fish are hardy and stay calm even in a community tank. I noticed they breed easily, which is great for a beginner. Just make sure the water parameters are stable.

I’ve had them for three months and they’re still vibrant. They eat both flake and frozen foods and don’t seem to stress easily. A great choice for a small freshwater setup.
