Black Molly

Black mollies inhabit warm, slow-moving freshwater, estuaries, and brackish coastal pools. They browse algae, detritus, and small aquatic invertebrates, often foraging close to vegetation and the bottom. Adults are livebearers, and males may spread their fins in courtship or territorial displays.
