can't find Saltwater molly

[Johnnyboy87]

I can't find any mollys at my Lfs. I'm in Brookfield IL. Anyone seen any lately.

Don't you have to buy freshwater Mollys and acclimate them over time to salt?

I just buy fresh water mollies and turn them to saltwater. I just put them in a bucket with an inch or two of water and use some airline tube to fast drip acclimate or just add a cup of water every 15min for a couple hours. I typically dip them in paragaurd for 15min before I put them into a saltwater system. Once they are done with a dip I rinse them with saltwater and put them in your system or QT tank.

Yup buy freshwater and acclimate to salt.

reefbuilders YouTube has a good video on acclimating mollies
