They are still alive in a school after throwing them in^^Agree with both of the above, the slower the better when drip acclimating them to full SW.
This article has more info on keeping mollies in SW: http://hubpages.com/animals/Keeping-Breeding-and-Raising-Saltwater-Mollies
Yep to late and still kickingheya!
I drip acclimate them overnight, black mollies have the most successful rate.
I read that ppl tried drip and they always died when just thrown in they lived I will see if they last 2 daysLet us know how they do without drip acclimating them. I've thought of doing the same in a smaller tank

Bring her here lolCheck with @helen ann , I know she had SW mollies and some Molly babies for a while
Bumble bee you sayMollies are brackish water fish and when acclimating any fish you should take a little time. As you found out you can usually take a mollie and throw it from across the room into a tank full of salt water and it will probably live for five years. Now, stop cringing, I didn't say to do that, but a mollie is a very sturdy fish and easy to keep in almost any water. I would take at least two hours to acclimate it as I have done it dozens of times with brackish fish like mollies and bumble bee gobies which are better looking and will live a couple of years in full salt water. The fishes kidney is responsible for stabilizing the salinity inside the fish and some fish can do that relatively fast but slower would be better for the fish. Braskish fish normally swim from full salt to fresh water such as when they go from the ocean up into a river. Those fish were "designed" to be able to do that. The tide pool where I collect is full salt at high tide but at low tide it is almost full fresh because it is from from a lake. Bluefish, which are not even brackish fish swim back and forth with no obvious problems.
