PLATINUM BALLOON MOLLY
Add a touch of shimmering elegance to your freshwater tank with the Platinum Balloon Molly. This eye-catching livebearer shows off a bright platinum-white body with a metallic iridescent glow, paired with the rounded "balloon" body shape that makes the breed so recognizable. Calm, active, and low-maintenance, it's a great pick whether you're just starting out or you've been keeping fish for years.
Platinum Balloon Mollies do well in groups and get along nicely with other peaceful community fish. Their steady swimming and bright color make them a lively addition to planted tanks and display aquariums alike.

To keep colors vibrant and fish healthy, maintain clean, stable water and offer a mix of veggie-based and protein-rich foods. These mollies do best in small groups with plenty of open swimming room and some plant cover.
Every fish is hand-selected, checked for health, and carefully packed for a safe trip to its new home.
Please note: since these are live animals, each Platinum Balloon Molly is one of a kind — color, body shape, and fin length can vary a bit from the photos shown.
