Elegant, robust sailfish, ideal for community aquariums
The Poecilia latipinna, or Sailfish Molly, is atropical freshwater fish native to the southern United States and Mexico. Very popular with aquarists, it is characterised by its large dorsal fin and its ability to adapt to different environments, including slightly saline ones.
This peaceful, sociable species should be kept in groups with a ratio of one male to three females. A well-planted and filtered tank of at least 150 litres is recommended. Use efficient filtration and precise heating to keep the water stable.
Omnivorous: flakes, pellets, poached vegetables, artemia. Discover our tropical fish foods adapted to his diet.
Choose a neutral substrate, a setting rich in robust aquatic plants and good LED lighting. Slight salinity (1 g/L) can improve fish resistance and vitality.
