mollies in saltwater?

[am3gross]

i currently have a black freshwater mollie in my salt tank... hes been doing good so far, eats all the time.

i have only had him for about 3 months now, and my question is do these fish ever get an "attitude" and start messing with the other fish as they get older? so far mine has been a perfect citizen. just wandering for future reference.


thanks

I don't think you have much to worry about.

how slowly did you acclimate him to your saltwater?

 

[am3gross]

he was acclimated over a 3-4 hr period. slow drip.

no aggression issue to worry about with molly, now just so you know they breed more prolific in salt water than any other enviroment (ime)

i have one that even has set up a cleaning station in my reef his best customer is the yellow tang

I have a black sailfin molly in my reef tank. I've had him for about nine months and he's been well-behaved (and good at eating algae!). My only problem is that he's often TOO passive and the ocellaris clownfish is a jerk to him sometimes. I also have a hitchhiker crab problem and they shred his fins . He always heals really fast but geez, I wish he'd defend himself a little!

ok this is all good to hear, i didnt think i had a problem with him just didnt know long term.

How are they with the increased flow of a reef tank though? I would think that would give them a problem.

no problems nipping at corals?
