{"product_id":"balloon-molly-poecilia-latipinna","title":"Balloon Molly (Poecilia latipinna) Collections","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Balloon Molly (Poecilia latipinna) is a popular, selectively bred freshwater aquarium fish known for its distinct, rounded, blimp-like belly and bright colors. Because they are peaceful and active livebearers, they make excellent additions to tropical community tanks. However, their shortened body shape means they are less streamlined than standard mollies and require mindful care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiet and Nutrition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMollies are omnivores with a high requirement for plant matter and algae.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBase Diet: High-quality tropical fish flakes or sinking pellets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVeggie Boost: Blanched zucchini, peas, or specialized spirulina flakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProtein Treats: Occasional frozen or live bloodworms and brine shrimp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBreeding Balloon MolliesMollies are livebearers, meaning they give birth to free-swimming, fully formed fry instead of laying eggs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ratio: Keep 2 to 3 females for every 1 male to reduce breeding stress on females.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdentification: Males have a large dorsal fin and a pointed anal fin called a gonopodium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFry Protection: Adult mollies will eat their own young. Use dense live plants or move pregnant females to a separate breeding container to protect the fry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHealth \u0026amp; Ethical Note\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe balloon shape is a man-made trait caused by selective breeding for a spinal curve. Because their organs are compacted into a smaller space, they can be more susceptible to digestive issues and swim bladder disorders than standard mollies. Avoid overfeeding and keep their water clean to ensure they reach their full lifespan of 3 to 5 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jasmin Aquatics Store","offers":[{"title":"White  Balloon Molly","offer_id":53428258537769,"sku":null,"price":5.75,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"Golden Balloon Molly","offer_id":53428258570537,"sku":null,"price":5.75,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black Balloon Molly","offer_id":53428258603305,"sku":null,"price":5.75,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sakura Balloon Molly","offer_id":53490255593769,"sku":null,"price":34.25,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"Calico Balloon Molly","offer_id":53490255626537,"sku":null,"price":32.5,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"Platinum Balloon Molly","offer_id":53490274566441,"sku":null,"price":32.25,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/4325\/2521\/files\/1000354233.png?v=1786738899","url":"https:\/\/jasminaquaticsstore.com\/ar\/products\/balloon-molly-poecilia-latipinna","provider":"Jasmin Aquatics Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
