About this fish

Red Neon Balloon Molly is a great pick for planted aquariums, chosen for colour, movement, and personality.

Why you will love it

  • Approx size in store: 3-4 cm
  • Works best as a feature fish with calm tankmates
  • Available in Regular and Balloon body types

Care requirements

  • Care level: Easy
  • Adult size: 6 cm
  • Temperature: 24 to 28°C
  • pH: 7.0 to 8.2
  • Swimming level: All levels
  • Minimum group size: 3+

Feeding: Offer a varied diet. A quality staple (flake or micro-pellet) plus frozen foods (brine shrimp, daphnia, bloodworm) several times per week keeps colour and condition strong. For algae grazers, include wafers and blanched veg.

Compatibility: Best with peaceful, similarly sized tankmates. Avoid fin-nippers with long-finned species and avoid aggressive fish with shy species.

School of Scape quality: We select healthy fish and recommend acclimation and stable parameters for best results.

How your fish arrive

Packed in oxygen filled bags inside an insulated box and sent overnight by air express on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
