Saltwater Lyretail Mollies are hardy, versatile, and stunningly elegant with their flowing fins and vibrant lyre-shaped tails. Though commonly associated with freshwater, these mollies have been fully reared and acclimated to thrive in full-strength seawater, making them a unique and functional addition to marine aquariums.
Tank Requirements
These fish do well in tanks 20 gallons and up, especially in peaceful community setups. They enjoy open swimming space, moderate flow, and live rock structures where they can graze. Their active and social behavior brings lively movement to both reef and fish-only systems.
Perfect Live Feed Option
Saltwater Lyretail Mollies are an excellent live feed choice for finicky carnivorous fish such as cuttlefish, octopuses, eels, and certain predatory wrasses. Their soft bodies and manageable size make them ideal targets for species that often reject frozen or prepared foods.
Sustainably Aquacultured at TSA
Cultured in Top Shelf Aquatics' dedicated farm systems, these mollies are sustainably aquacultured and housed in isolation from other marine fish, ensuring they are pathogen-free and safe for sensitive systems. Each fish is raised and fully acclimated to natural seawater salinity (1.0263), making them reef-ready upon arrival.
