For how long do you have them?

 

[omgitzmollie]

In my tank now i have some black skirt tetras, buenos aires, and a gourami none of them have bullied the mollies.

I got them mollies yesterday

Well, if you only got them yesterday i think its fine, but if it keeps like that, no eating and hiding alot or kinda stressed, i would advise you to take back to the store if you can, because i had a bala shark, he didnt eat for 11 days that he was with me and he was very stressed, he died 1 day before i take him back to the store.

no bother ;p
When i first put my fishes in the tank, both of my mollies didnt eat for 2 days i guess, then they started to eat.
And i like to feed them every other day, to make sure they wont leave any food around, it works perfeclty
