Are mollies poop machines like platys?

[jmay33]

I realize they look very similar, are mollies as dirty as platys?

They are probably a bit more messy since they get bigger.

However, I don't believe livebearers are really that much more messy than other fish their size.

I'm my experience, yes they are poop factories.

 

[Aqualady40]

Just do your water changes

Alright. I will. Thanks. here's a picture of my mollies! It's a bad one with a bad glare. Really doesn't do them justice. They're so black that they look like velvet!

 

[Bubble_B0y]

YES!

They are basically tropical Goldfish!

From my experience, they poop just as much as plecos.

How easy was it to acclimate her to saltwater?

 

[pzunker]

Used 3 of them to break in the tank. 3 lasted quite a while and 2 disappeared. But the last ones been going strong for many months. But they started instantly in the SW and acclimated fine.

Mine pooped constantly, I swear; even more so when the girl got pregnant.
