Description
Black and Silver Mollies are popular freshwater aquarium fish known for their striking contrast in coloration and peaceful nature. These mollies typically display a sleek, streamlined body with a beautiful mix of jet-black and shimmering silver scales. The coloration may appear in various patterns, such as marbled, speckled, or divided along the body, giving each fish a unique appearance.
They are livebearers, meaning they give birth to free-swimming fry rather than laying eggs, and are relatively easy to breed in captivity. Mollies are hardy, adaptable fish that thrive in a range of water conditions, although they prefer slightly brackish water with a bit of salt content.
Reaching up to 3–4 inches (7–10 cm) in length, black and silver mollies are active swimmers and do well in community tanks with other peaceful species. Their gentle nature and attractive look make them a favorite among beginner and experienced aquarists alike.
