Well this old { dime a dozen } 55 has had Spotted turtles in it [ 1999-2000 ] and then Diamondback Terrapins [ 2009-2011 ].. but never fish. Early '80's bred Mollies in a couple 20L tanks.. but haven't had them since.. until now.
Early on there were Black mollies and Marbled mollies and Green Sailfin mollies.. and then Lyre-tail black mollies.
{ please forgive these 'first' pics.. I'll figure it out.. tricky lighting and they don't usually sit there and pose }
Now there are names I can't pronounce so I'll call this one a Gold Sailfin Lyre-tail -
Again with an Orange.. both males - very gravid females to the right and Gold-dust Lyre-tails in the background..
These are live-bearers.. 2" - 2 1/2" now and have babies every 28 days! I now have a 10 gal. tank as a nursery and maternity ward.. with a half-dozen babies I've found in the main tank so far.. the adults are very cannibalistic!

Will get better pics of individual ones hopefully tomorrow.
