Thanks for the advice! I am working on getting a bigger tank but I am expecting that it will take me at least a month to get it inhabitable. Do you think she can hold out that long?That explains it. The males are very stress-inducing to females with their constant need for mating. Usually when getting mollies, you try to get three females for one male, at minimum two females. She is stressed out, and has claimed that corner as her "safe place." Best course is to replace the male with a female, but if you are unable to, though the tank is small for breeding, you will then have to add one more female.
Thanks for the compliment, I have had a ton of fun scaping this and learning about aquarium plants. The golf ball was the Hub's idea, he thought it was a funny addition to my tanks since my golf balls seem to have a water hazard tracking device!Nice scape, I think the golf ball was a great addition. When I think of aggressive fish in an aquarium, Mollies don't register very high on the list. Your fearless female Mollie looks fine. As long as "aggression" doesn't result in injury, it's really nothing to be concerned about. As for possible overcrowding, I don't think so. None of your listed fish are big waste makers. With
all the advanced filter options, and with maybe an additional WC a week, you could easily add several more mollies and guppies. As listed above, a bigger tank is always better. Bbradbury's
advise is always spot on. Just IMO it would be fine to build up your livebearers population until your 55 gal. Goal is accomplished. Note: you might consider adding a small school of medium sized tetras for fry control.
Got it[emoji4]The only thing that may come up between them is mollies tend to nip at long fins, which as far as I remember angels have.
