Assorted Balloon Body Molly - Medium/Large
Balloon mollies carry a selectively-bred curvature of the spine that compresses the whole body into a round, balloon-like shape — it's a genuine skeletal trait, and a controversial one in the trade, but the fish itself is every bit as hardy and easygoing as a standard-bodied molly. Assorted colors here, medium/large size, and like the rest of the molly family it does especially well with a splash of aquarium salt.
Care level: Easy · Temperament: Peaceful · Max size: ~3" (shortened body) · Min tank: 20 gal · Diet: Omnivore, algae + flake/pellet
