I bought these Golden Mollies for my first aquarium and they’ve been thriving for months. They’re colorful, calm, and easy to care for. I followed the advice of keeping 2 females per male, and the males don’t seem stressed at all. Great for new fishkeepers.

The fish arrived healthy and have been active since setup. They don’t fight much, which is a relief. I’ve kept them with some tetras and they coexist peacefully. Just make sure the tank is not too small.

Perfect for a beginner. The fish are vibrant and stay active. I didn’t have to do much maintenance, and they reproduce naturally. I now have a small family of young mollies from the first batch.
