Black Lyretail Molly Poecilia Sphenops 3cm "Introducing the stunning Black Lyretail Molly (Poecilia sphenops) - a graceful and captivating addition to any aquarium. Originating from Central America, this species boasts striking black hues accented by elongated, lyre-shaped tails that add a touch of elegance to any aquatic landscape. Feeding on a diet of high-quality flakes or pellets supplemented with occasional treats like brine shrimp or bloodworms, these mollies thrive in a well-maintained tank with a mix of vegetation and open swimming spaces. They prefer slightly alkaline water with temperatures between 72-78°F (22-26°C) and a pH range of 7.0-8.0. Their peaceful nature makes them excellent community tank members, cohabiting harmoniously with other non-aggressive fish such as tetras, guppies, and peaceful bottom dwellers like Corydoras catfish. However, it's advisable to avoid housing them with fin-nipping or aggressive species. With a moderate care level, these mollies are suitable for aquarists with some prior experience in maintaining freshwater tanks. Their social disposition and striking appearance make them a favored choice among aquatic enthusiasts seeking a touch of beauty and tranquility in their aquarium setup."
