The Black Molly (Poecilia latipinna) belongs to the family named Poeciliidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.0 inches in length, the Black Molly is passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is good. External sexual differences are limited to the fact that males have a pointed anal fin and larger dorsal fin. Poecilia latipinna should not be housed in a tank less than 30 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 6.5 - 7.4, temperature between 72 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include planted aquarium.
