Assorted Balloon Molly

Assorted Balloon Molly - A Colourful Mix of Balloon-Bodied Mollies

The Assorted Balloon Molly is sold as a mixed-colour selection, meaning every fish carries the same rounded balloon body shape but a different combination of colours and patterns, so no two are quite alike.

This variety keeps all the easy-going, active temperament mollies are known for, and its variety of colours makes it a fun way to add diversity to a single tank without sacrificing hardiness.

At N8 Aquatics, our fish are carefully raised and conditioned to ensure healthy stock suited to home aquariums.
