How to keep Maury
Maury will be an easy breed to keep. The life span of the Maury is about 2~3 years. Their body size is approximately 7~9 cm. However, both lifespan and body size vary depending on the environment in which they are kept and the food they are fed. They prefer slightly alkaline to neutral water (especially soft water), and especially prefer a pH of 7.0 to 8.0. Mollys are classified as tropical fish, so if you keep them in Japan, you will need a heater in winter.

Types of Molly

The Black Molly is popular as an accent in aquariums. One feature of the Black Molly not found in other species is that it likes to eat oil film floating on the surface of the water that is left over from food, making it very useful as an oil film remover.

Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers
Regarding mixed swimming, first of all, Mollys have a docile disposition. Therefore, if the breed with which they are mixed is territorial or aggressive, the molly may be beaten up, resulting in injury or even illness due to stress.Recommended species for mixing with mollys are small fish such as neon tetras and other calasin species and red fin fish. Mollys are a highly individualistic species. Most mollys are docile, but there are a few that are temperamental. If a molly is being chased, it should be kept separately. If you wish to keep rough-tempered individuals together, you should take measures such as creating a hiding place for them by adding water plants.

Points about spawning
Many people who keep mollys want to breed them. To distinguish male and female mollys, males are smaller and have a copulatory organ (gonopodium) near their rump fins. Females are larger and more rounded than males. Mollys, like guppies and other species, are oviparous.Egg-laying is not the same as the general killifish species in which eggs are laid in water plants and fry hatch from the eggs, but rather the eggs hatch in the female's body and are born as fry. Therefore, they do not require spawning beds or water plants, which are generally necessary for spawning. Therefore, molly breeding is said to be easy. However, there are some drawbacks to oviparous breeding. Since the eggs are hatched inside the female's body, it is not uncommon for the adults and fry to become mixed swimmers before you know it. Although it is not a bad idea to have them swimming together, it is recommended to keep the adults and fry separately, as the fry cannot feed and are likely to be chased by the adults. As a way to keep them separate, if the female's abdomen grows large and she stays still at the bottom of the tank, or if she is actively swimming, which is very different from her normal state, place her in a tank dedicated to the fry. If you keep the fry with the adults, add more plants to the tank so that the fry can escape if they are chased.
Many people who keep killifish want them to spawn. However, not many people know about spawning and what they need to do to prepare for it. This time, we would like to explain the method of spawning and the points to be noted [...].

What to keep in mind when keeping a molly
The molly is a recommended breed because it is easy to keep and easy to mix with other species. The Molly is a very enjoyable breed to keep because of the great differences in body color and shape among the species.

The major difference between the Mowry and the Platy is the size of the body. The Platy is about 5-6 cm while the Maury is about 7-9 cm, with the Maury being larger. The Maury is a very popular breed, and many specialty stores carry them. If you have a chance to see the Maury at a specialty store, we recommend that you take a look.
