About This Species
The Balloon Molly is a selectively bred variant of the common molly, featuring a shortened, rounded body. This physical deformity gives them a unique, balloon-like appearance and a wobbly swimming style. They share the peaceful nature and hardiness of their ancestors but require care to ensure they are not outcompeted for food.
