I bought these mollies for my 10-gallon tank and they’ve been thriving. They swim actively and look stunning with the plants. Very easy to care for and don’t stress other fish. Perfect for a small community tank.

The silver color is bright and the fish are very peaceful. They stay in the middle of the tank and don’t chase each other. I’ve had them for two months and they’re still healthy and active.

Great addition to my planted aquarium. They don’t require much maintenance and adapt quickly to the tank conditions. The size is small, so they don’t take up much space.
