Hi, I am starting my new BW tank. I want to keep f8 singleton in it. I've read that they are doing well with BBG and Mollies. I think about:
1 F8
5 BBG
2 Black Mollies
Is it ok? I definitely don't want to overcrowd the tank. Thx for help

How large is the tank? My F8s ate all but 1 of my BBGs & killed the mollies.

Make sure it's heavily decorated.

Thanks for response!
I'm planning lots of caves and plants with wide leaves for my gobies. Should I keep mollies in the same sex? Better males or females? I don't want them to breed.

The molly fry would be food for the puffer.
