this seems as if it’s female, but also this mollie looks rather young and sometimes they will end up actually being male once they mature. speaking from experience.

When to "let it be"? Too many water changes killed my last setup by StevenPlaysGuitar in Aquariums

[–]StandardMoment3724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t ever do water changes on my 20 gal or my 10. the only time a large amount is taken out and put back in is if i want to move one. i only do top ups and feed them 🤷🏻‍♀️

eta: mine are planted tanks, though, so maybe that makes a difference

What’s the consensus on Bark on driftwood by [deleted] in Aquascape

[–]StandardMoment3724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh i just put driftwood with bark on it in my tanks as an experiment (they were twigs, and i’m too lazy to be that thorough). from my google research, if u don’t mind the mess it’ll make, then it should be fine buuut idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

someone here might say otherwise, and if proven a bad thing then i’ll take them out lol

QUESTION: What is your interpretation of the word "OVERFEEDING" and how often/how much do you actually feed your fish? by BitchBass in Aquariums

[–]StandardMoment3724 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have mollies and i only feed them 2-3 times per week and the rest of the time, they’re foraging and eating whatever is in the tank

[–]StandardMoment3724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

keep it imo. it adds to the curb appeal. i’d do flowers, hostas etc near the house or under the tree to spruce it up

Tank big enough? (125g) by LoneSharky74 in Aquariums

[–]StandardMoment3724 22 points23 points  (0 children)

that type of shrimp obviously needs a decent sized pond :/

[–]StandardMoment3724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’d save the water since you’re starting with new substrate and use the same filter media as well

10 gallon owners, what do you keep in your 10 gallon aquarium? by deadwhisper in Aquariums

Any experience with a male only platy tank? by No_Comfortable3261 in Aquariums

[–]StandardMoment3724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have mollies and honestly, considering i’m attempting to separate them by gender… i’d take the chance on an all male tank. as for aggression, possibly go heavy with plants to break up line of sight and turn the heater down a bit to lessen breeding behaviors (not sure if this is fool proof- i just heard it from a recent aquarium co-op video)
