Black or silver molly, peaceful and easy to keep
Poecilia sphenops is atropical freshwater fish native to Central and South America. Robust and adaptable, it is perfect for community aquariums. Its many ornamental selections (black, Dalmatian, silver, balloon...) make it a classic for family aquariums.
A peaceful, gregarious species that should be kept in a group with a ratio of one male to three females. Provide an aquarium of at least 120 litres with effective filtration and suitable lighting. A slight salinity will improve its health and longevity.
