The snow white calico molly is a standard-finned form of Poecilia latipinna with a clean white body carrying light black speckling. Without the extended lyre tail it is a stronger, more workmanlike swimmer than the long-finned varieties, and it tends to hold up better in a busier community tank. Mollies come originally from coastal waters of North and Central America, which explains their preference for hard, mineral-rich conditions.
Aquarium care
- Adults commonly reach 8 to 10 cm.
- Hard, alkaline water is the single most important requirement; soft water causes most molly problems.
- An active omnivore that grazes algae and needs vegetable matter alongside flake or pellets.
- Occupies the middle and upper levels of the tank and is on the move most of the day.
- Peaceful with other species; males chase females, so keep more females than males.
- Livebearing, so fry will appear in a settled tank.
They suit a hard-water community with platies, swordtails, larger rasboras and peaceful barbs. Avoid mixing them with fish that require soft, acidic water. Never release aquarium fish into local waterways or garden ponds.
