I am looking forward to stocking a kiddie pool this summer. I have American flagfish,bluesptted sunfish, 5 male bluefin killifish(need females). Not sure if I want my mollies in it. Any ideas on pool mates?

Dont let that shallow pool get to hot, and keep the kiddies out. Bluefins are a spring fish, wanting cool water. Bluespotteds are predators, they will eat any fry that shows up. Beautiful fish.
Watch for Bluefins in your local fish store mixed in with feeder shrimp, you should get plenty of males and females in the mix.
Sailfin Mollies are harrassers.
Personally i would set up seperate pools for each species, fill them with plants and keep them in the shade.
Those Flagfish should yield the quickest, easiest.
Good luck, should be fun.

Also, consider your predator control strategy. I'll assume you have raccoons in your area. They wreak havoc in my 18" deep outdoor pond. You will need to provide some structure like flower pots or AGEDI am looking forward to stocking a kiddie pool this summer.

cement blocks etc for your fish to refuge in when rocky comes to visit in the middle of the night. Also, herons can be an issue, even in a backyard situation.
