9 months is the age for mollies i know, but fluxx, this is for freshwater, right? coz mollies can live in brackish water, not full saltwater

From what I recall, they're supposed to be ready to breed in under a year after birth, so that's probably the timeframe we're looking at for both mollies and tetras.
