Hey folks. Have a bit of a predicament and am worried I may lose a fish.
To start I have a 20g tank. I have 4 molly, 1 female dreamsicle lyretail, one mail dalmation, one female dalmation, and one male orange and black molly (can't remember what kind it was honestly).
I have had these fish for about 2-3 weeks now. At first I was worried about my ratio of male to female, and the male orange molly would bully the male dalmation molly.
Today, I noticed the male orange molly getting beat up pretty badly by the female orange and the male dalmation. Everytime I check on it now, my male orange is either laying still underneath the heater (upright), sitting at the top of the tank, or chasing the male dalmation around with much less vigor than it had.
I am nervous to add more females because of how grumpy the male orange one always seems.
Any advice?
