What Creamsicle Molly look like

The Creamsicle Molly is a domestic molly color morph with orange and creamy white patterning. It is usually based on Poecilia sphenops or mixed domestic molly lines. Adults have a robust livebearer body and rounded fins, with males showing a gonopodium.

Behavior & temperament

Creamsicle Mollies are social, active, and peaceful with appropriately sized tank mates. They need hard alkaline water, strong biological filtration, vegetable foods, and stable warmth. They are livebearers and reproduce readily if both sexes are kept together.

Diet & feeding

Creamsicle Mollies are omnivorous grazers. Use spirulina flakes, quality livebearer pellets, algae wafers, blanched greens, daphnia, brine shrimp, and occasional bloodworms. Vegetable matter should be a regular part of the diet.

Behind the name

Creamsicle describes the orange-and-cream coloration, named by resemblance to the frozen dessert color pattern.
