How many mollies in a 10 gal?

[tricksterpup]

What I thought was the sailfin at the lfs was silver in colour and had a large rectangular dorsal fin. The other mollies in the tank were black lyre tails. Does anyone have experiance with the green highfins? If I had them they'd be in my 33 gal. Are mollies from central and south america? And do they get along with angels? They might be candidates for my 33 gal instead. [/QUOTE]
In the aquarium trade today, mollies come in a large varieties of colors. I have had Sailfin mollies that are orange and black. Mollies can be found from Florida all the way down to central america, I am not sure if they are any in SA though. I would have to look that up to find that answer, but there may be few species there. As for tank mates they will be fine with Angels, but to let you know, the Angels will out grow the 33 gallon tank you own.

Ok, I'll find some more reading on the mollies and think about them. They are neat fish.
The angel was living in a 10 gal and has been the same size for about 6 months. If he does get too big for the 33 I will for sure trade him to my friend who will put him in a 45 or his dad's 70 something tank. But I don't think he will grow much bigger. He's about the size of my hand, fins and all. I've never seen them much bigger than he is at the moment. There are others I have seen about the size of my head but their fins are different. I'll check that out as well though. He was my second fish, before I knew anything.
