We do not take backorders on live fish, invertebrates or plants. Livestock arrives on the shipping schedule our suppliers and the weather allow, so we will not promise a date we cannot keep.
What is in the tanks changes from week to week. Ask us and we will tell you what is in and what is coming, or check back shortly. Visit us or get in touch.

This is an assorted listing of lyretail mollies (Poecilia latipinna), so the fish that come in vary from shipment to shipment. Expect a mix of colours across black, white, orange, silver and mottled calico patterns, all sharing the same lyre-shaped tail with extended upper and lower rays. If a particular colour matters to you, ask our staff what is in the tank on the day rather than assuming, because the mix genuinely changes.
Aquarium care
- Adults generally reach 8 to 10 cm regardless of colour.
- All colour forms want the same thing: hard, alkaline, stable water.
- Omnivorous with a strong vegetable component; use a plant-based flake or offer blanched vegetables.
- Peaceful in a community, though males chase females persistently.
- Stock two or three females for every male.
- Livebearing, so a settled group will produce fry.
They suit a hard-water community alongside platies, swordtails, peaceful barbs and corydoras. Long finnage makes them a poor match for known fin-nippers. As with every aquarium fish, they should never be released into local waterways or a pond.
Stock rotates with each shipment, and livestock is available for local pickup at our Lethbridge store. See the molly collection.
