Water Quality & Temperature:
- Water Type: Orange Mollies thrive in freshwater conditions. Be sure to treat tap water with a dechlorinator to remove harmful chemicals.

- Water pH: They do best in slightly alkaline water with a pH range of 7.0-8.0.
Tank Size & Setup:
- Tank Size: A minimum of a 10-gallon tank is required to house a school of 4 or more Orange Molly Fish. A larger tank provides a more stable environment for the fish.
