Black mollies are one of the most popular varieties of aquarium fish. Their jet black colour and peaceful nature contribute to their popularity.

Mollies are active inquisitive fish normally swimming at the front of the aquarium where they make a nice display. Their diet should include vegetable matter or algae which they usually find by themselves, by constantly grazing on plants and other surfaces in the aquarium.
They are east to breed live bearers and sexes can be differentiated by the males' anal fin which is modified to form a point.
