Why did your local expert suggest three molly males?
As what I've heard/read, male/female ratio in a livebearer tank should be 1:2 or 1:3.
I have three swordtail males and four females (maybe). The males always complete with each other for females. Whenever a male tries to mate with a female, the other two males join in and chase each other away from the female.
Anyway, it's better to keep more females than males since males are more aggressive. |
