Hi guys just put a light orange and white bubble Molly in my take with my betta and neons and tirger barbs havnt had a problem with any of theses I was more worried about the tirger barbs but there hasnt been any issues I have an other bubble Molly that's white with black spots with a lot bigger fins but there hasn't been any issues with him what can I do to get them to get along I don't want to put them in differant tanks here's some photos so you can get an idea

This is when my fighter gets very angry and full flares his gills come out and all it's very scary because I'm scared hes getting stressed out and might die they don't fight my betta just chases him around the tank and flares at him when he goes near him it's been going on and off for about a day and abit for it happens about every couple of hours I'm hopping it's just territorial and they will get over it this is my other bubble molly that he is fighting with

What size is the tank?

honestly I'd move the betta. Right now things seem good but as your tiger barbs mature I would bet money that they are going to give your betta a hard time.

I mean for now you can get rid of the molly and keep your tank how it is but I would honestly expect issues to arise in the future and think that your betta would thank you for the move sooner rather than later. Keeping betta in community tanks is really tough and often doesn't work out, I think you've been very lucky that things have gone so well so far.
