I also want plants and either sand or gravel at the bottom of the tank.

    Typically, these items will cost roughly $40 depending on where I go to buy it all.

  • Sand

  • Would cost ~$25

  • Tank lighting is used to simulate day and night for the fish and also add warmth to the tank.

  • Mollies need 8-12 hours of light daily

  • Hood covers stop fish from jumping out the tank

  • Mollies are easy-going fish, so I don't need to worry about this. I don't need a hood cover.

  • 72F-78F

  • I might need a heater because the temperature in the school building fluctuates, but I am not willing to buy one. They cost around $15.

  • Mollies need at least 10 gallons, 20 gallons to be more comfortable.

  • Mollies get air through their gills.

  • I could add an air pump to make sure the fish get the correct oxygen levels.

I decided to get a sponge filter because they are pretty inexpensive and not only filter the tank but also increase the dissolved oxygen levels in the aquarium. I also decided to add sand to the bottom of the tank, so the fish will have an easy time getting food that's fallen. I choose to get mollies because I want a relatively easy fish to take care of. They also get along with plenty of other fish.
