Innes, who regarded the species as color variety of P. sphenops, the liberty molly was first imported for the aquarium hobby in 1935.[10] In the aquarium, the liberty molly can be aggressive towards other tankmates and nip the fins of other fishes in the tank.[3][10] According to Innes, this aggressiveness and the loss of color intensity over captive generations led to the fish losing popularity in the hobby.[10] Males in particular are aggressive towards each other.[3] Tropical Fish Hobbyist recommends keeping the liberty molly in a species tank, in a ratio of at least two females per male, stating that three males and six females would be suitable in a 30-gallon aquarium.[3] The liberty molly is prone to jumping, and so the tank should be covered.[3][5] It needs vegetable matter in its diet.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Poecilia salvatoris|url=http://www.fishbase.org/summary/Poecilia-salvatoris.html|publisher=Fishbase|accessdate=2013-03-10}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q3758843}}{{Cyprinodontiformes-stub}}2. ^{{cite journal|journal=Freshwater and Marine Aquarium|page=188|volume=24|issue=10-12}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 {{cite web|title=7 Forgotten Livebearers|author=Monks, N.|url=http://www.tfhmagazine.com/details/articles/7-forgotten-livebearers-full-article.htm|date=August 2011|accessdate=2013-03-10|publisher=Tropical Fish Hobbyist}} 4. ^{{cite book|title=Aquarium Fish Identifier|author1=Bailey, M. |author2=Sandford, G,|page=52|year=1999|publisher=Lorenz Books|isbn=9780754800101}} 5. ^1 2 3 {{cite book|title=Exotic Aquarium Fishes|author=Innes, W.|pages=362, 574|publisher=Metaframe|edition=19th|year=1966}} 6 : Poecilia|Fish described in 1907|Vertebrates of El Salvador|Fish of Central America|Live-bearing fish|Ovoviviparous fish |
