Unless you want to change the water every day, yes, they would do much better in a properly cycled tank with at least 5 gallons of swimming space. Look up the ammonia cycle of a fish tank to see why having a tank with a filter to keep nitrifying bacteria is beneficial.

Yes, you should have a tank for your dalmatian mollys. A bowl is not suitable for a long-term living environment for fish as it lacks proper filtration, aeration, and enough space for them to swim and thrive. A tank will provide a more suitable and healthy habitat for your fish.

Can i Keep molly in a fish bowl?

No, a fish bowl is not an appropriate environment for keeping molly fish as they require a larger tank with good filtration and water quality. Molly fish need space to swim and thrive, so a fish bowl would not provide enough room for them to be happy and healthy. It is recommended to keep molly fish in a tank that is at least 10 gallons in size.


Why are my dalmatian mollies and black mollies vicious?

Mollies, including dalmatian and black varieties, can exhibit aggressive behaviors, especially during breeding or territorial disputes. It's natural for them to establish a hierarchy in the tank. Providing ample hiding spaces, plants, and ensuring a balanced diet can help reduce aggression among your mollies. If aggression persists, consider separating aggressive individuals to different tanks.

Even though lizards maintain out in the dry deserts, they still do need water everyday. If you own a small tank, leave a small container or bowl of fresh water in the corner everyday. If its a big tank then you can leave a bigger bowl full of water, because lizards also like to jump into the water to have baths.

You have 8 molly fish in a 30 gal tank and they are developing a film on them Why?

The rules of successfull fishkeeping are :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. (A Molly is at least a 3" fish) :- Every tank needs a fully cycled filter running permanently. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. Mollys need to be kept at around 75F in neutral to slightly alkaline water pH 7. to 7.2 . One teaspoonfull of aquarium salt per gallon of water will also be good for Mollys. Mollys should be fed as much dried food as they will eat in 15 minutes each morning and evening. If you follow the above basics your Mollys will live a reasonably happy life. If you miss out on any of the above I can guarantee that the fish will be constantly getting sick and will live a shortened life span.


Why does the toilet bowl fill but the tank does not?

This could happen if there is a problem with the refill valve in the tank or a blockage in the water supply line. When the toilet is flushed, water flows from the tank to the bowl and then refills from the tank. If the tank is not refilling, it can cause the bowl to fill up but not the tank. You may need to check and replace the refill valve or clear any blockages in the water supply line to fix the issue.
