Feeding a Molly: the honest notes
🐾
Mollies need plant matter: spirulina flakes or blanched vegetables daily, not just protein flakes.
🐾
Feed 1–2 small meals a day; they constantly 'peck' at algae in between, which is normal.
🐾
They tolerate brackish water — a little aquarium salt suits them and helps prevent common fungal issues.
These are breed tendencies, not a prescription. For the actual amount, the calculator uses your pet's real body weight and life stage — the same veterinary formula vets use.
