Golden Mollies
Balck Molly
The black molly is also known as the midnight molly. This is a hybrid species between Poecilia latipina and Poecilia sphenops. Mollies are live bearers and are named for their very dark, all over black coloration.
Mollies are native to areas of North and Central America along coastal salt, brackish and fresh water regions. This goes for the “wild-type” mollies, not the industry bred variations including the black molly. Wild mollies reside in the shallow surface waters of ponds, marshes, streams, swamps and estuaries.
Black Molly is omnivorous and prefers both meaty foods as well as algae. Provide them with an algae-based flake food, as well as freeze-dried bloodworms, tubifex, and brine shrimp.
