Black mollies are a type of live bearer, meaning that they give birth to live young.
They are native to Central America and Mexico.
They can grow to be up to 5 inches long.
Furthermore, they are not picky about water conditions and can tolerate a wide range of temperatures and pH levels.
These cute critters are available through the Living Science Material Center CO-OP page to study and keep as classroom pets.
