     Mollies prefer hard water with a high ph. most people keep them in less than favorable conditions. I use a product called Seachem Brackish salt.

     It allows you to provide favorable conditions for livebearers and it does not burn your plants like regular sodium chloride would. I use Hornwart and Guppy grass in my tanks and the fry have lots of hiding places. Let me know if you have any other questions.
