Good news that the fish are on the mend .

Have a look for your local maidenhead aquatics , pets at home in my opinion are one of the worst fish shops in England. Every time i go to one I go on dead fish spotting mode, most of the time i see at least one dead fish per tank. I have had very good quality fish from maidenhead aquatics fish shops. I still have tropical fish that are over 6 years old that I purchased from my local maidenhead aquatics.


Don't let this put you off the mollies, but in my experience Mollies don't do well in freshwater, they are brackish / saltwater fish. Fish shops sell them to you not explaining this. I have kept mollies a few years ago, had them breeding within a week or two in freshwater. They just don't last very long in a freshwater aquarium. very low immune resistance in freshwater.

when you come to purchase your next fish have a good research on the net before hand and make sure your going to get a a fish that meets your requirements.
