Re: Balloon Molly advice please
I've never kept balloon mollies before but have kept other variations. I like most of the live bearing fish so have owned most of them at some point, yeah defo keep and eye on the little ones the big ones will try and eat them
.Have to agree with NicoleW, Mollies and Danios are tropical fish and do need a heater. If I would you I'd go educate the pet shop staff!!

Re: Balloon Molly advice please
i bought mine from Maidenhead Aquarium Centre In Wiltshire, fully qualified (certificates proudly on display), theres 3 departments, tropical, coldwater and pond (Koi etc) i bought all mine from the coldwater department....i did ask about the Danio's as i honestly thought they were tropical
....but they assured me theres 2 types of Danios and the one's i picked were the coldwater variety....the same as the rest of what i have....The Danio's, minnow & Borneo Sucker i've had well over a year and haven't had any problems ![]() i finally got my new (second hand)tank today....advertised as a 2ft tank....i think they advertised wrong as its deffo a 4ft tank ![]() needs a good clean as it smells abit....i'll deffo get more Danio's & minnow's as you suggested but that wont be for a while as i've got to get the conditions right ![]() http://freshaquarium.about.com/cs/cy...zebradanio.htm

Re: Balloon Molly advice please
Danios, white cloud mountain minnows and borneos are all temperate fish, so should be fine at around room temperature, though a heater would be useful to keep the temp stable
. They all prefer a temperature range of around 18-24C.Mollies however are indeed tropical fish and really are not suitable to be kept with the other fish you have. They would prefer a higher temperature (around 25-28C) and slightly brackish water. I'd be inclined to take them back to the shop.
