Pellet or Flake Foods
The Creamsicle Sailfin Lyretail Molly is an aquarium fish that thrives on food such as flakes, pellets, vegetables and raw foods such as brine shrimp or bloodworms. This species makes an excellent choice for beginning aquarium owners since its easy care needs, attractive appearance and range of temperature tolerance make it suitable for any situation.
Mollies typically feed on commercial pellet or flake foods, including vegetable-based snacks like lettuce and zucchini leaves. Flakes should be limited due to their susceptibility to bacteria and fungus growth in tank water; pellets may be better as they sink rather than floating freely throughout their aquarium environment.
Omega One Freshwater Krill Food offers another great alternative to flakes for your marine aquarium, providing it with an abundant source of protein and serving up as a healthy treat up to three times every week.
