{"product_id":"molly-assorted-fish","title":"Molly Assorted Fish","description":"\u003cp\u003eBring colour and activity to your aquarium with assorted mollies from Richards Bay Pet Shop. Select your desired size and ask our team which varieties are available. Planning your first community tank? We can help you check whether mollies suit your water and existing fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA comfortable tank\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse an established, filtered aquarium with open swimming space and plants or other cover. An established filter contains helpful bacteria that process fish waste. Choose a tank with room for the selected variety at its adult size, not just its size when purchased.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWater and temperature\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMollies generally favour hard, alkaline water and a stable tropical temperature. Ask us to check the needs of the available variety against your tank's water tests. Use a suitable heater where needed, test the water regularly and keep up with partial water changes. Do not add aquarium salt routinely without checking suitability for every inhabitant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeeding made simple\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffer a suitable tropical-fish food that includes plant-based ingredients. Feed small portions according to the food's instructions and remove leftovers before they spoil. A varied, appropriate diet is better than relying on algae growing in the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing tank mates\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose fish that share their water needs and are not aggressive or large enough to swallow them. Not every tropical community fish suits the harder water mollies prefer. Tell us your tank size and current fish so we can help you check the combination. Very small shrimp and young fish may be eaten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGroups and baby fish\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMollies give birth to live young, so a mixed-sex group can produce babies. Males can repeatedly chase females; ask us for help planning the group and providing cover. Make sure you have room and a plan for any offspring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBringing your fish home\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow suitable acclimation guidance and use a separate quarantine tank where possible before introducing new fish. Watch their appetite and behaviour as they settle. Ask the Richards Bay Pet Shop team for help choosing the right size and variety for your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Richards Bay Pet Shop","offers":[{"title":"Molly assorted mix 4 cm","offer_id":50379882725733,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"marble molly","offer_id":50379882758501,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false},{"title":"leopard molly","offer_id":50379882791269,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Super black molly","offer_id":50379882824037,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Balloon Molly assorted xl","offer_id":50379882856805,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/9141\/9237\/files\/orange-molly-fish_33976b61-fd8e-4298-bbe2-5ee4055237ed.jpg?v=1791224348","url":"https:\/\/richardsbaypetshop.com\/products\/molly-assorted-fish","provider":"Richards Bay Pet Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
