Liberty Mollies display vibrant fins with red, white, and blue streaks, contrasted against a silvery or golden body. Males often show more intense coloration, particularly on the dorsal and tail fins. Females are larger-bodied but less colorful. Their streamlined body and striking patterns make them a rare and desirable molly variety.

Peaceful schooling fish; does well in community setups with other livebearers and small peaceful species.
Feed 2–3 times daily with a balanced diet. Provide high-quality flakes or pellets, spirulina for vegetable matter, algae wafers, and occasional live/frozen foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia. Supplement with blanched vegetables like spinach or zucchini.
Livebearer; females give birth to free-swimming fry. No parental care is provided.
Like other mollies, Liberty Mollies are prolific livebearers. Females can give birth to 20–80 fry every 4–6 weeks. Fry are free-swimming from birth and should be provided hiding spaces in dense plants like Java moss or floating vegetation. Adults may eat the fry, so separation is ideal if maximum survival is desired. Fry grow quickly when fed a diet of powdered flakes, infusoria, or baby brine shrimp.

Ich, fin rot, fungal infections, and sensitivity to poor water quality. Slightly brackish water conditions help improve health and disease resistance.
Peaceful community fish; males may be slightly territorial during breeding.
Liberty Mollies are peaceful, active, and social. They prefer being kept in small groups of 4–6 or more. Males may occasionally chase females, especially during breeding, so a ratio of 2–3 females per male is recommended. They are active grazers and often pick at algae and biofilm in the tank.
Liberty Mollies are a unique and visually captivating molly variety, named for their fin coloration resembling the colors of liberty—red, white, and blue. They are active, hardy, and thrive in a variety of water conditions, including slightly brackish environments. Their distinct tricolor fins set them apart from more common mollies like Black or Sailfin varieties. Liberty Mollies are also prolific breeders, giving aquarists the opportunity to enjoy multiple generations in their tanks. Their energetic swimming style and peaceful demeanor make them excellent for community aquariums.
