Fr this blew my mind. Mollies just got alot cooler

They are kind of underrated. Tons of awesome colours, easy to breed and highly adaptable. They are totally cooler than I thought, I’m still not about to put them in one of my tanks 😂

Mollys are little weirdos. They exist in fresh & saltwater across their natural habitats and can survive in anything from streams and rivers to swamps and marshlands.

Mollies are the coloured roaches and they will inherit the earth

Mollies are brackish fish. That’s where they thrive.

My fahaka puffer which looked very similar would have reduced those mollies to a cloud of body parts within about 30 seconds. I guess this puffer species is more chill?
