Surprising tank resident

[Squeaky McMurdo]

I can’t get over how good this sailfin molly looks in my saltwater tank. I bred him to my green sailfin mollies before putting him in here so hoping for some dazzlers in the near future. He spends all day picking at the rocks and eats hair algae!

I call him my poor man’s wrasse. There are no lights on in the tank.

I haven't seen a white sailfin molly since the local Walmart decided to get rid of its aquatic section, so this is a pleasant surprise. How's the little guy handling flow and other tankmates?

He’s actually huge! At least 5 inches. My pair of occelaris clowns are smaller. He has a blue tail and some red and yellow in his sail, so really pretty. The flow isn’t bothering him or the fry I had born a week ago to a lyretail female that was shipped with him. They came from Puerto Rico and the water they came in was 1.018

Not the greatest picture, but they’re all begging close to the glass. The female is the size I normally see.
