The Neon Butterfly Lyretail Balloon Molly is a hybrid variation of the Sailfin Molly, Poecilia latipinna. The Balloon Molly has an arched back & rounded, large belly. These Mollies have a large lyre-shaped caudal fin and an gorgeous dorsal fin. Mollies have the ability to adapt to a variety of salt levels in the aquarium. With a gradual acclimation, these fish may be maintained in either a freshwater aquarium or a saltwater aquarium. In the freshwater aquarium, a teaspoon of aquarium or marine salt per gallon is recommended for optimum health.
