Saltwater Mollies

The molly is in hiding in the tank and does not venture out much.

It will take it a little while to get used to the new setting, but once it gets comfortable, you can't get it to stop swimming around

That is so surprising that a molly that was drip acclimated would die so quickly and yet I read that before. It's not what would be expected but it's good to know.

I'm not. I am actually not a fan of drip acclimating fish at all. When I first got into the hobby, I would drip acclimate everything. Then, I noticed I had mixed results. So, I did some research and took some advice from a friend. They did not drip acclimate, but temp acclimated. I did the same and noticed that my success rate increased. I haven't lost a fish due to poor acclimation since I began doing the temp acclimation.

Humph, I did not know that. I always do the dip acclimation, ya know, dip out a cup of water in the bag and add a cup of water from the tank. 10 minutes later repeat and do that 3 Xs.
