99% of comments: mollies can live in saltwater stop hating
1% of comments: why did you put them in saltwater, it is more expensive than freshwater
That's not necessarily true a salt water tank can cost as much as fresh water tank depending on what you get.
@@darrylellis5616 well obviously if a 155 gal fresh water will cost more than a 10 gal salt water tank but if there both 10 gal then freshwater is cheaper so stop making excuses
@@aarongonzalez4458 You must be blind deaf or dumb. I clearly indicated in my comment DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU GET. I said nothing about tank size or gallons idiot.
What about all fresh water fish?
Stop being a fool darryl. You gotta put salt in saltwater tank. Not the table salt. Aquarium salt are not cheap. (But not for me)

Mollies definitely can survive in saltwater if acclimated slowly.
I have found that they didn’t lose color when in saltwater but GAINED color when put in saltwater.
What kind of color? A pale color?
U sure they aren’t just some plastic battery powered ones
@@dandyphan8511 They gained more of their yellows and oranges.
And are awesome algae eater for saltwater aquarium as well
I put mollies and guppies in salt water when they were in fresh water they died slowly due to finrot and stuff but the other tank with salt water they gained color and did not die the water is clear too
My birds have adapted to saltwater
They live perfectly well in saltwater
@Bal Del No not at all, once in the tank with the lid closed, they will start to swim immediately.
My dog lives quite well in saltwater. I just filled the tank up slowly. He's now fully emerged in a 70 gallon saltwater tank.
@@kandykane2160 WHAT ARE YOU A MURDERER? Dogs cant live in water they can die are you a idiot wow
@@Soredli he's not dead yet. As long as I have a heater and the filter for water movement everything is totally fine. He's doing really well.
Soredli Mapping it‘s just a joke , relax
I know guppies and mollies can be acclimated to saltwater
Woojong your hairline is hurrendus
Woojong for real
what really
Woojong I thought only mollies could be acclimated to saltwater
you are clearly liying guppys cant go in saltwater
I love how so many people think they know everything about fish and are hating on this guy for putting mollies on saltwater. Mollies can live in either saltwater or freshwater.
Actually kind off they actually live on river deltas where the water conditions are between freshwater and saltwater. Like freshwater puffer,edlers,some guppies,bubblebe goby etc.
@@dimitris.4484 True, but they can live just fine in either fresh or saltwater as long as you drip acclimate them or something similar. My lfs has had mollies in their saltwater show tankfor a few months while waiting for some fish they want to become available.
@@eternallymicro6158 nerd alert
Kemi Ogunleye u watch this vid to so I wouldn’t talk
However. These aren't wild caught mollies. In fact these kind of fish "balloon mollies" don't even exist in the wild. They made a deformed fish, bred in freshwater for the pet trade, bred to have curved spines and unhealthy characteristics. I can assure you that balloon mollies will not do well in a salt water setup. Maybe live for a year Max! Nearly all pet trade mollies are primarily freshwater, because that's where they have been kept and bred for thousands of generations (Molly generations). Using the wild specimens for reference is almost pointless at that stage.
Love how you just perfectly divided everyone by making this video
What a lot of the folks commenting down here don't realize is that mollies are brackish water fish; they tend to be found in semi-saltwater conditions and are able to swim further upstream into the more fresh water in their native habitats. This is perfectly fine for them, they are not being abused in any way.
Per Wikipedia; "These livebearers are native to fresh, brackish and salt water in the Americas, and some species in the genus are euryhaline." It's all good, y'all.
Life finds a way
Abraham Castillo Wikipedia is an unreliable website because if you have an account you can change the info.
@@squirrelbeez5123 still would have the same info in other sites as well, why would anyone change it?
Because they would think it is funny that someone would actually do what they said

Can you imagine going to get a surgery done and the last thing you hear out of your surgeon's mouth before the knock out drug hits is "I think I've watched enough videos on youtube to do this procedure correctly" 😂😂
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would say, “no stop the surgery”. I was on laughing gas you can still hear stuff and even speak before it really hits.
Can you imagine repeating a joke everyone's said before on a completely unrelated video?

Probably still bigger than their natural habitat these days lol
Well they don't know there in a tank that's how stupid they are
Fish be like : BULLSHIT JUST RIGHT HERE 😂😂
My 6 weeks old baby have adapted to saltwater to, he’s so much more chill, he doesn’t make a sound and sleeps 24/7. Thx for the hint.
This comment made me do a double take lmao 😂
The only down side is that the water starts to smell like rotten meat after a couple weeks but its worth it
Also your gf will yell at you 😒
Salt water can loosen the bones and enables your to twist your babys head 360°
My ex doesn't even need to stay in saltwater cuz she is already very salty
Most shops sell freshwater specimen Mollies, younger mollies can be acclimated to their natural salt state but the older they are the more stress they deal with.
He said he would get more
I have fresh water aquarium and i have two pregnant yellow mollies in there. This morning i noticed that one is thinner than it was in the evening. Upon sloser inspection, i saw that along the bottom there are about 10 little fishies, hiding from neon fish and danios in the fine moss i have. It is soo cool! I never had a pregnant fish deliver healthy fry ever before.
We had guppies and one day a few bred. Born was Bubble. Defo my fave fish ever lmao

I literally just acclimated mollies and really enjoyed this video! ☺️
“please don’t eat my fish” 😂😂
Lol
My cat ate my fish
@@eyelessjack7392 bruh moment
I will eat ur fish
Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I had 4 goldfishes, all of them died 😭
We all wanted to know this at one point but where to nervous to ask this question 😂
Mollies are a common feeder fish for marine fish. They are found in nature in fresh brackish and full salt.
+selectpet, yes,Mollies generally live in the brackish lakes of Florida and similar climates, though they can easily acclimate to saltwater or freshwater. My mom used to live in Florida when she was a kid, and when she went out on boat rides with her father-in-law, they would always spot Mollies in the brackish and freshwater lakes.
Funny thing I learned that Mollies were brackish water fish when I tried feeding one to a Scorpion fish I had, the scorpion fish never ate it but I realised the molly survived and decided to release the scorpion fish (it was caught by my late father at the beach) and the molly lived a happy life in the saltwater aquarium.
I didn’t know mollies could live in salt water!
I think this can be done with about any fish that originally came from coastal rivers and live in a delta type environment. They have to be able to survive the brackish inflow that comes with the high tide or situations where currents just wash them right into the ocean for more prolonged periods. Now if their original freshwater habitat is high up on the river or inland lakes, then they're going to have some issues.
why would you even have a saltwater tank if your not even gonna put saltwater fish in it🤦♂️
I have salt water mollies that breed in my tank and I can say all of the colors have been 20x better than freshwater mollies .
thanks for helping me on my anatomy and physiology test with this video lol
This is pretty dope I didn’t even know that. Watched this at 5am 💀😭😭
I like your land fish its cute
MasterAquatics: What happens if you put freshwater fishes in saltwater?
Blue Cross: Am I joke to you?
They will swim...
What did you think was ganna happen when you did this?!?!
Exactly what did happen
Molly's are from brackish waters therefore can survive in both fresh and salt also they are great algae clean up crew too
Having read Tropical fish Hobbyist magazine years ago, I know for a fact that Mollies have been caught in the ocean
and can do quite well living in salt water if/when properly acclimated to it. Best of luck with your saltwater mollies.
I hope they drop some offspring.
Love the cat
What about for goldfish?is ok to i use api aquarium sald??if one from my fish have a red mark on tail,and another have something underskin close to tail,like a bubble under skin with something brown or red...
did you get rid of the white layer on your glass, i have a new tank in cycle process and I get these white layers on the glass every alternate day
I give you like, because i actualy know something about fish and dont go complaining about things i dont know because thats just stupid, like 80% of the comments
That tank would look really good with some live plants and wood scape just a suggestion
That was cool I never knew they would surivive this is a cool vid
I remember when my fish died…my mom turn him to a delicious meal😭🤣
Fr? Lol sad but cool 😭 but did it taste good? 👀
@@SoCallEmma koi fish taste better then a normal fish🤣
Hopefully nobody tries this with any purely freshwater fish
Yeah, bettas would go belly up in a hour.
My channel cat died 😭
You should try hikari first bites for your fry it’s a lot easier then brine shrimp and a lot cheaper
Brine shrimp is actually cheaper and has better health benefits
The molly’s look so cute!
I already knew mollies can be both fresh water and salt water. But u I never tried it. Thank for showing us.
A little known fact is that mollies are actually salt water fish. In the wild they lived in shallow lagoons of the Gulf of Mexico and as recently as 30 years ago many of the mollies sold for aquariums were wild caught.
Please quarantine all feeder fish or make sure they're clean
contaminates could be carried by them and they will mess with the water and fish
That’s so cool and it’s not hurting the fish so that’s awesome
Finally, some useful science.
PLOT TWIST IT WASN'T SALTWATER!
:000
This reminds me of the time I was at the local fish store and they were feeding the Dog Faced Pufferfish while I was getting my supplies, they put in a few goldfish from the feederfish tank and the goldfish just looked stunned to be in the saltwater, it was really cool. Then they got ripped to shreds by the puffer fishes beak.
Lame
Puffers eat crustaceans and mollusks in nature
My new favorite vlogger😂🤩interesting
godblessed fish lovers!❤
Great video! I found it very informative and educational!
FINALLY A NON HATER
Are you being sarcastic? LOL
Lol! I'm not being sarcastic! Lol
Every fish owner ever: I think I’ve watched enough videos on TH-cam to do this properly.
mollies and platies can be brackish fish or if acclimated it can be either or.
Lol kitty wanted fish. Interesting. The one Molly looks like it's gonna have babies. Good vid😀👍🐟
The cat wants to know how come you only gave live food to the angel fish and not to him/her!
Why so many dislikes??
The fish are safe.
Becouse people who dislike think he put Goldfish 8or other 100% freshwater fish) in. But mollies are fresh brakish and saltwater fish
The colours do change, but it's for the better, not the worse
this was recommended to me while i was at school
U make us wait so long for a saltwater tank and now you put mollies inside?
S Swish he would probably kill a saltwater fish anyway he doesn’t have enough equipment
@Stephen Dobs bruv, he spent his money on his setup. Why ya gotta hate?
@@ahahdjshnskkzh5232 saltwater tanks dont all need the fancy gizmos. Just means you will need to do more manual labor. I have a marine tank that I do fortnightly water changes and weekly testing/dosing on
I only had black mollies once a long time ago in salt water they did fine I don't remember their black ever being dull or not as black.
I caught some of mollies down in Galveston and Corpus Christi before in salt water and they look quite nice to me.
alot of folks keep these for algea clean up in SW
*_peta wants to know your location_*
This is Terrible ! 👎so mean
That cat looks like my cat that I lost 6months ago😭
Great
Imagine you are chilling and someone puts you in salt water... Horrible.
Dude they can breathe it. Imagine going from 25% oxygen air to 20% oxygen air.
Nice fish bro
Master what size tank do you think 1 bass needs
It depends the size of the fish a smaller would do ok in a 50 gallon whilst bigger one would be better with 100gallons +
I keep 2 in my 160 and they're doing fine
Cmon I don’t get why u should but baby guppies 😂 it’s very unlikely angelfish would eat them there too slow😂
A FISHY GUY who said anything about angels or guppies?
Jacob Csgo I meant to comment it on the video not on the reply
Yes put goldfish in saltwater. Said that they would they said. Did my research first, I did.
Logan Nguyen do you know there really salt in there and we goldfish can’t stand salt
My mans needs a snail to eat that glass algae
I remember when I was maybe 3-5 years old when I went to the beach and there were guppies in the ocean and I would try to catch them but I always failed lol
Why so many dislikes? This is purely a science video!
Way back when I was a kid, it was hard to keep even black mollies in fresh water. They always got sick, which would eventually get all of your other fish sick eventually. Oddly the stupid molly wouldn't necessarily die, but everything else would, especially if you added salt to cure the ick or whatever was killing your fish.
Over the years, mollies have been bred to live better in fresh water, but they are still pretty much brackish fish. I might add that we used to feed guppies to salt water fish and we had some guppies that were still alive in salt water after a day. Guppies can do brackish and possibly marine conditions too.
Using mollies to cycle in a marine aquarium is a good idea, I once used monos. When the tank had cycling issues, I just moved the monos back into fresh water until the marine tank balanced out.
The down side about using molies to set up a marine tank is that eventually your true marine fish are going to kill your mollies. I can't say why, but it happens more than not... so pretty much consider them cheap and expendable atarter fish.
I love molly fish lips just OMG I CANT
Thanks😎
They just be vibing in there
I was reading through the comments to see how much hate the man got, and got quite angry. Not at the man in the video, but the at middle school children here who don't know how to spell or use correct grammar. Good video man. The people in the comments who don't know how to use their heads need to return to school quickly.
i get that you technically can put them in saltwater but why?
Joey Wadsworth because why not
Mollies are actually brackish fish, so they can be acclimated into freshwater, saltwater, or brackish water.
Joey Wadsworth prob to show people what you can do with some fish
I find that saltwater fish are expensive for a shoal, aggressive, loners and everybody has chromis. I want some yellow in my saltwater aquarium...mollies seem to be a good choice. I gotta try it out.
WOW that is so cool
My cat is in a good shape in saltwater. They doing just fine and they love it. Its already 7 months my cat live in saltwater.
Why are people hating on this it’s a pretty interesting experiment
I havent watched yet but this reminds me of an experiment me and my dad were conducting from the ages of 6 or 7-8. We started out with all the fish being in freshwater, and over time like after the course of a month we'd add a total of a teaspoon of salt into the tank. And we did that for a year and all the freshwater fish were still alive. They only died from hostile fish and old age. It was cool as hell.
Yo thats so cool!
Nice video
Did u know..
Goldfish can harm and kill ur fish that being fed them?
Goldfish can have diseases or illnesses or parasites...
They put them as "Feeder Fish" because they are more cheaper.
Luxury Kitten same with any feeder animal
emily • yea, and nice name, that my real name😏👌
Luxury Kitten noice
Y D ya and shrimps really good if it's human grade unseasoned uncooked fish or crustacean is bettef
Its the same with any feeder animal that isn't quarantined. If he quarantined his feeders prior to feeding, there would be minimal risk of any casualties in his aquarium. He already knows the risks with feeders. He just wants to do what he wants since those are his aquariums. And they do not label them feeder fish because it is cheaper. They label any fish feeders if those arent their best selling or best looking fish. Most people dont go to pet shops to purchase goldfish or minnows unless its for feeding.
From my experience Molly’s colors tend to improve significantly in salt water
Lol the cat is just dying to eat the fish 🤣🤣
Can I use cooking salt for my saltwater aquarium?
We actually keep some of our molies in the saltwater tanks at the fish store I work at and the little kids see them in both tanks and ever some parents and they get mega confused😂
Also you do know that they will get massive in saltwater right😂
Love how no one knows anything about these fish.
Hay I know fish need water and food
I love how you comment what everyone else does even tho no one thinks he’s being evil because the fish can live in saltwater
Yeah you must have gotten your PhD in ichthyology right bro
A respectful experiment.
I’m watching this at 2am while I’m on my break
Mollies used to be the standard for beginning a saltwater aquarium. Back then it could be difficult to cycle a new marine aquarium but the mollies kicked things off and they were very inexpensive.
My very first reef tank was started with 2 black and 2 gold mollies and I don't remember them losing their color at all of course, that was in 1987 so it's been a minute.
I've actually been toying with the idea of starting a new reef aquarium... Haven't had any saltwater aquarium in 20 years... and if I do, a few mollies would be the only vertebrates in the tank.
Haaaa, stop the hate by acknowledging the fact that molly fish can live in either salt or fresh water. Idiots who were spreading hate
Thanks for educating some people mollies and sword tails are actually brackish fish naturally so salt water is easy acclimation for them they actually have a harder time and generally shorter life living in fresh water only. Many fish thought to be fresh water can be acclimated to at least a low level of brackish water like your Angel fish for example I have a 250 gallon brackish thank that I keep monos and Angel fish in along with a fire eel very large plecho a ghost knife and even a green puffer with some other various bottom dwellers. It's been up and running about 6 years no issues.
Anyway I really had saltwater mollys and the best part is that they eat green hair algae like crazy great fish for control of algae!
I put a dolphin in my pool, doesn't wanna work ;insert Elon Musk meme;
"you're free lil guy" ....
Uhhhh..... They're inside an aquarium
You are on planet earth
Congrats you're stupid!
Well, I have been treating 1 of my Mollies to a salted quarantine tank for a few wks. I think he has some kind of fungus. Anyway, although it seems like the treatment isn't working for the fungus, he seemed to be doing better. I stopped the adding the salt & he seems to be not doing as well. So, I think I'm going to continue with the salted water.
i had a molly and then got a puffer, which i know was brackish water and agressive so i watched carefully. the molly is doing well and its been a month, so far the puffer has not bit at the molly XD not sure if or when it will happen
