Have a mollie that is nipping at my other fish .tank size is 55gal freshwater. I notice my Mollie nipping at a angelfish today and a few days ago it was doin that to another fish now both are diein

All fish are unique. It all depends on the personal fish, but mollys are generally nice.

Yea that is a bummer. There are several things you can do though. Put the mean fish in a breeder net or breeder box for a "time out". Another idea is to turn off the lights and totally re-arrange the tank

Lol ya I'm starting to get that now about mollies .i lik realyy if I wanted an aggressive tank I would have done so but it's not

yea i had a balloon molly that tortured all other fish. so now when i buy mollies its only female mollies that are about to give birth then i use the babies as feeders and then feed the molly to my crayfish.
i dont hate mollies because of one bad experience this is just the most recent.

Agreed re-arrange the tank and break up any territory that exists, my peaceful Rams had this problem and a quick move of the decorations etc all good
