Poecilia Species

Poecilia is a genus of fishes in the family Poeciliidae of the order Cyprinodontiformes. These livebearers are native to fresh, brackish and salt water in the Americas, and some species in the genus are euryhaline.

All species in Poecilia are called mollies except for the Endler's livebearer (P. wingei) and the well-known guppy (P. reticulata). Without a modifying adjective, molly usually refers to the species Poecilia sphenops.

They are mostly community fish with a few exceptions and make hardy pets thats easy to care for with little demand from the aquarist. Large variety of colours available and please do check on availability from week to week.
