Compatibility Q

Post by Dadof4 »

I have four Dalmatian Mollies in my brackish water tank to keep the filter going. Can I add a GSP with them or would they become a light snack? If they become a light snack, what kind of wine does one serve a GSP to go compliment the Mollies? Red or White? Seeing as they're Dalmatian Mollies would a nice Blush go well? :confuzzeled:

Light snack. And I believe that white wine is the appropriate compliment to seafood.

Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Ahhhh but one must take in to consideration the complexity of the seafood in question.....Black and white seafood VS solid color seafood.

Looks like I'll have to move them in with the dragon gobies then...

My mollies were picking on my F8's and GSPs so much that I had to take them out and put them in other tanks.

That's pretty unusual. F8's, in general, are aggressive, like other puffers. They may not eat the mollies, but they would make their lives miserable.

My dragon gobies are at nearly full marine so it may be a while until I can move the mollies.

Ohhhh...I wonder if they would bother my Dragons....I think a good aged dry white may be appropriate with aggressive mollies, but I do like Sake...
