The Red Molly are known for their bright red colour. They are also called Blood Red Molly and their scientific name is Poecilia Latipinna. These fish are native to Central America and are popular among aquarists due to their low-maintenance care requirements and wide selection of possible species to choose from. If you’re interested in keeping Red Molly fish as pets, you can find them in most pet stores. However, they are in high demand and usually out of stock on most online stores 3. They are also more expensive than most mollies and can cost up to $15 per fish 3.
