A hybrid variation of the Sailfin Molly, the Black Lyretail Molly has black scales with white highlights on its fins and lyre-shaped caudal fins. It’s a community-friendly fish because of its peaceful nature and should be housed together with fish that are similar in size and can withstand the same water conditions. Because of their high appetites and resulting waste production, a good filter system is a must for these fish.
