i'm new on the site, and i'm restarting my tank. i Do have a question for you...

hi, i'm totally new here, but not totally new with livebearers. i had them once a couple years ago, mollies, but when my 4 year old cousin came to visit, he wanted to "clean the fishies" and dumped tide bleach in the "fishie box". all of my fish and their fry died. so i've decided to start over. but i can't decide: mollies or guppies? i'd like to breed, and i've thought through housing and such. i was doing well before the bleach incident. which would be a better breeding....breed??

I vote guppies but then I'm biased. I know nothing about mollies.

well, i've decided on mollies. i saw a really sick looking male at my lfs, and decided to buy him, nurse him, and breed him. i havent gotten any females yet, i want him to have a stress free environment for recovery. i think he'll be all right, he has severe fin rot. i have the meds i need, and he's already looking peppier.

You'd be the one who buys the runt in a litter of pups too wouldn't you? Same here. Well good luck to male molly although I really think he's used up all his luck finding a home with you.
