I have a Betta in my new tank. He has gotten along well with my danios guppies etc. Was given a new molly and he hates her! If I put other mollies in will it keep him from attacking the one?? My 9 year old will die if either fish has to go! Help

how big is this tank?
i wouldn't put any more mollies in the tank, they are fish that do better in brackish water

I have 3 Mollies in with my Betta, they seem just fine, if anything the mollies keep the betta in place, I have 3 and they take no Sh*t from the beta and do just fine in my 100L tank. Cant say ive had much experience with them... Why cant you put more mollie in the tank? Just out of curiousity I'm not challenging your statement just curious as to why more mollies cant be introduced? My mollies are doing fine in water with no salt, it is only early days though.

My mollies wound my Betta up, which is ironic because when I bought him from the shop he'd been in a tank with balloon mollies and had munched the tails of a few before being separated.

It's not about us, it's about the fish.
This is actually the perfect opportunity to teach your child about compatibility and responsible fishkeeping. She's not going to get everything she wants in the real world. Best to start teaching her that now.
