Golden Panda Molly Growth

[Michael Bailey]

Are golden panda mollies genetically smaller than other types of Molly, or do they grow to be the same size as other breeds? All I ever see are golden pandas that are about platy size at petco, while the other types are noticeably bigger.

No they should not be smaller. They are most likely imported from Asia. If you work with them, seperate a female that is ready to drop or move fry to a 20L with a couple of corys. Within 4 months you will have 2"-2 1/2" fish and in 6-7 months 3 1/2" - 4" fish.
