Gold Dust Molly

The Gold Dust Lyretail Molly,Poecilia latipinna comes from freshwaters in the southeastern United States. Its scientific name means varied (poikilos) and wide fin (latipinna), which fits this fish perfectly. These mollies grow to about 2.53 inches long and have a sturdy body thats easy to spot in your tank.

What makes them truly special is their golden faces and darker bodies with tiny bright spots covering their sides like stardust. Males show off a long, lyre shaped tail that waves gently as they swim, while females have a softer version of the same fin. Gold Dust Lyretail Mollies are friendly and peaceful, so they fit well with other calm fish. Theyre also hardy, doing well in most freshwater conditions, and will reward you with lively swims and glittering color every day.

The Gold Dust Lyretail Molly offers an excellent learning opportunity. They exhibit viviparous reproduction, where femalesgive birth to live fry instead of laying eggs. Witnessing this process can be an educational and rewarding experience, providing insights into the wonders of aquatic life.
