Pot Bellied Molly or Platy

[Davies97]

I want to breed a Pot Bellied Molly or Platy but I cannot pick. All the members of my tank are ok because I have Guppies, Cories, Neon Tetras, Pleco and Kuhuli Loaches

Personally, I would do the platies. Remember, pot bellied or balloon mollies are essentially bred for a deformity so I would imagine there would be more issues than are typical for breeding livebearers.

Absolutely the platties. Balloon mollies are quite gruesome. Breeding them is wrong IMO.

I would also go with the platys! ^_^ they are pretty and I love to breed them quite fun!

The thing is I dont like random spots or specels on the fish like dalmation. I like my fish just one plain color with maybe different colour tail or fins like red wag. But I like the sunburst platy because the two colours fade into each other which i like

I got some red wag and they are pretty cool. I got something that look like a sunburst it's called sunset fire wag Platy it looks like 2 colors mixed.

Oh but on Petsmarts website they call them sunburst also I think petco too (chain stores) on their website. I thought I just had a fish like that! never knew!

Platys.. Mollies can be harassing to your guppies

 

[Davies97]

I have seen Platies/Mollies get along with Guppies but don't worry if that happens I will sell my Guppies

I have a pair of the sunset platies. Unfortunately the male shows not an ounce of interest in the female.

Try getting one or two more females and one more male
