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.

Mollies are Central American livebearers, mostly derived from Poecilia sphenops and Poecilia latipinna and long since crossed and line-bred into an enormous range of colours and finnage. An assorted group gives you whatever has come in, which usually means a mix of black, dalmatian, silver, gold dust and orange fish, with a scattering of lyretail and balloon body shapes. Males are the slimmer sex with a rod-shaped anal fin; females are deeper-bodied with a fan-shaped one.
Aquarium care
- Larger than a guppy or platy and needs more room than people expect.
- Peaceful, though males chase females persistently.
- Keep two or three females per male.
- Prefers hard, alkaline water. Soft water is the usual cause of trouble.
- Grazes algae as well as taking flake, pellets and frozen foods; include some vegetable matter.
- Livebearing, so expect fry if you keep both sexes.
Good in a hard-water community with platies, swordtails, larger tetras and corydoras. Lethbridge tap water suits them well without adjustment.
Stock rotates with each shipment, and livestock is sold for local pickup at our Lethbridge store. See the current molly list.
