Variety of Molly · balloon

Ask Finn

A selectively bred variety of the common molly with a distinctively round, arched body caused by a spinal curvature mutation. Due to its compressed body shape, it is a weaker swimmer and more susceptible to swim bladder issues than standard mollies, so gentle flow and a stress-free environment are especially important.
