The Balloon Molly - Mix Balloon Molly (3cm) is a spectacular centerpiece for the modern community aquarium, known for its brilliant coloration and sophisticated social behavior. Characterized by a distinctively rounded, "balloon-like" body and a vibrant spectrum of colors—ranging from pearlescent whites and sunset oranges to striking dalmatian patterns—this 3cm variant is a masterclass in freshwater aesthetics. In the "Answering Machine" era of livebearer husbandry, the Mix Balloon Molly is highly prized for its peaceful temperament and its ability to cohabit beautifully with other peaceful community residents.
Unlike standard Molly varieties, this 3cm Balloon Molly is bred for its compact, high-profile silhouette, making it a favorite for hobbyists looking for high visual impact in smaller systems. They are exceptionally active swimmers that occupy the middle and upper levels of the water column, providing a constant display of color and movement.

Care Level: Easy
Temperament: Peaceful
Variant Size: 3cm
Minimum Tank Size: 20 Gallons
Diet: Omnivore
Reef Compatible: N/A (Freshwater)
Max Size: 3 Inches
Water Conditions: 72 to 82°F, dKH 10 to 25, pH 7.5 to 8.5
The 3cm Mix Balloon Molly is an ideal candidate for a community planted tank. While they are highly adaptable, they thrive in harder water with plenty of swimming space and vegetation to browse on. They are high-metabolism fish and should be fed a varied diet of high-quality flakes, algae-based pellets, and frozen meaty foods—such as mysis and vitamin-enriched brine shrimp—at least twice daily. Like all mollies, they benefit from the addition of aquarium salt in their water to maintain peak health and vitality.
We’ve dialed in the logistics for national Overnight Delivery to ensure your livestock arrives in peak condition. Every order is packed using professional-grade insulation and climate-contingent heat or ice packs, designed to maintain stable temperatures throughout the journey. We handle the technical side of the move so you can focus on the acclimation. Our protocol is built on getting these fish from the facility to your tank with zero compromise on health or vitality.
