Hello, I have about 40 mollies for sale or trade for frags. 2-3 months old. They were born in freshwater and transferred to 35ppt saltwater within a few days. Their initial survival was 100% And only a few losses by two weeks. None since. Far better than the odds of acclimating an adult fish.
They have been conditioned to handle moderate flow. Raised on frozen and TDO pellets, though take any food you throw at them. Eat from your hand. They are not aggressive or territorial to saltwater fish, though will chase each other. Adult females reach 4+in. males 3in.
They enjoy all sorts of algae and can get in those small places tangs may not be able to reach, unless you feed them a lot, then they do get lazy.
Note they can be bullied by other fish, my smaller six line wrasse has nipped some fins, they heal up fairly quickly. If your flow is too strong they can tire out and might sleep on the sandbed at night. They don't seem to do this after they're grown. Allowing them time to grow and giving them an hour with powerheads turned down helps. They graze algae moreso at night especially during the lower flow periods.
Lots of time and care went into raising these. Observing them over the past 3 months has made me want to keep them in all my tanks. I just wish they had less than 30 fry a month. They will recognize you at feeding time, swarm your hands looking for food when you reach in the tank. Great as dither fish. They are not affected by brushes with bubble tip anemones or rockflowers. Sometimes do quirky things like sleep next to my clown fish in their PVC elbow (they have used it since quarantine, I don't have the heart to remove it). They should not be used as feeders or to cycle a tank.
$5 per fish.

I have more in another tank that never housed saltwater fish, should you have concerns about pests. All my saltwater fish underwent hybrid tank transfer with H2O2 baths for quarantine.
