If you have the correct setup and animals then its easy. If you give them what they need they will be fine, mollies are not cared for by most people they are brackish fish forced to live in freshwater where they often die.

Dunno what mollies you've kept but the majority of them now thrive in freshwater. What with the fact they are found in fresh, salt and brackish water in the wild anyway.

Any mollies i have ever kept develop illness very fast and dont live past a few months. Untill you see them through the switch from fresh to brakish you wont understand the difference in behaviour

I wouldn't anyway, i have no interest in keeping mollies anymore, and the ones I had years ago were completely healthy in freshwater anyway

they wouldn't have been completely healthy anyway, the mollies around today are a mix between wild fresh and brackish water mollies so need some form of salt in their water to be healthy. Fresh water will result in a lower immune system and your mollie becoming sick with fin rot, or shimmies or similar.
I could keep a leopard gecko alive in a frog set up, dosn't mean its healthy. Its the difference between surviving and thriving

its not the same at all. Mollies have been bred to increase their hardiness, a standard shop bought molly will be happy in freshwater. Have you not quite realised that fish keeping is not always an exact science, some mollies need salt in their water, many do not. There's no need to declare that you're right and everyone else is wrong. You keep yours one way, i kept mine another, neither is wrong, just different.

but its not, you cant just breed somthing somewhere to make it hardy to that environment. Mollies need some form of salt to thrive

no they don't. How can a fish that is found in freshwater in the wild need salt? mollies that were bred and raised in brackish or saltwater do need salt, but freshwater raised ones do not need salt to thrive.

sorry not getting into an argument here, can't be dealing with ignorant people who can't accept other peoples ideas. Just because your way works doesn't mean mine doesn't. Open your mind a bit

lol as i have already said, you wont find a pure freshwater mollie at you LFS, just because its born in fresh water dosnt make it a freshwater fish.

Getting back to the actual topic, as was said the set-up and seahorses aren't the problem. It is feeding. They need a constant supply of food, and usually won't take anything but live food. I work at an aquarium and they are kept in spotless set-ups with a constant supply of shrimps. Also, to be very honest, seahorses are easy to get bored of. Sure, they look good, but they don't do much AT ALL!
