I did this with two mollies, and in the process of acclimation, a bunch of babies appear. Lol. I ended up with more mollies then I needed! Luckily I had a 50 gallon fresh water too, so the young ones went there once they were big enough. Still had to many, though. They breed like crazy, so be aware of that! It helps cycle the tank a lot faster though. I took a break on the hobby for a few months, and then realized my mistake. I can't seem to live without my fishies. Lol. So now I have my freshwater tank and another saltwater tank, cycling the salt tank now. I am going to try guppies this time, apparently they can also be acclimated to saltwater tanks! Hope it goes as well as it did with my mollies.
I did it for mine in about an hour. Most survived. The black ones seemed to take it harder. Orange sailfins, silver/white and harlequin mollies seemed to take to it best. I still keep some in my tank. They are huge and spit babies out like machines. Good for algae and finding leftover food too. They have no problem with medium angels, tangs, clowns, butterflies and flow. If you feed them well and keep good water, they will thrive better in salt imo.
I tried this with a black molly survived for almost a month but wasn't doing very good, going to try with a wild type sailfin molly and acclimate it over the period of 2 weeks

Nice video! I've never done saltwater but my mollies love my brackish tank, they tend to stay healthier in saltwater.

Nice video, thanks. Is it possible to aclimate an keep bumblebee gobys in saltwater?
What size tank??
How big is your tank?
1 I put 5 whites in
You sound like Dan from Roseanne
Hı are mollies still alive?
A relative of freshwater hydra? I always used black mollies to cycle my salt tanks before putting saltwater fish in.
I believe so. And I used Damsels, but I probably would have used Mollies if I knew this was possible sooner.
Those are anemones, saltwater cnidarians.
You made my hey Google activate
I tried this. Twice. And molly died in a few hours! Your molly live now? Or died too?
Did you dump them straight into the salt water or did you let them slowly adjust by using the drip method?
@@NetherNinja drip method 12 hours
@@rybalka. maybe too long 🤷🏻
@@roostertheguy maybe. i don't know)
saltwater mollies are prettier than freshwater mollies for some reason
🤦
Space humans are much cooler than earth humans 💁
