I have an empty ten gallon tank in my room tongue.gif . Would these fish work in it? huh.gif

3 Mollys
2-3 Guppys
1 Betta

Would this be overstocked?? stop.gif (I can't find information about the final size of Mollys...Is it 2.5 3 or 4 inches??)
Thelonious
That Would Be A Little Overstocked In My Opinion.
Regular Mollies Can Get To Around 3 1/2 Inches..So I Think 3 Mollies And 3 Guppies Would Be Enough.
P.S. If You Would Like To Check Out The Page I Got The Mollie Info From,It`s Here

Thanks

What about Black Mollys?
fishies12
black mollys max size is about 4'' too but they require more care.

also i don't think that mollys and guppies are compatible with bettas
and i would think a male guppy's colorfulness might be mistaken for another betta
Black oranda
The betta would be a big NO NO! rolleyes.gif
bettas,shouldn't be place in a tank with guppies,or mollies ect ect
The colors of the male guppies are very colorful and they
have long floating fins and tails usally and of course the
betta would have a go at the fins/tails because of the colors.

I would give every guppy 2 gallons each,and maby 3 gallons
each for the mollies i think black mollies is the same aswell.
tongue.gif good luck.


-Black oranda.

the guppies and betta yeah, but the mollys might nip the betta, i have males and females gupps in with my fighter, they are fine, and i never read anywhere that you shouldnt do this !
