I have a smaller male marble molly that has now bullied two of my beautiful male balloon mollies until i found one dead yesterday and today. but i noticed before my orange balloon molly today that last night he couldnt swim right was almost swimming upside down, laying on the gravel at the bottom of the tank. and the little marble molly would come by and slam into him even as he could barely move. i want to get rid of this molly im afraid he will keep killing my fish. what should i do? :eek:
 
Either re-home him or put him in another tank would be my two top recommendations. Or, if you're against getting another tank or letting someone else deal with the little bugger, put a crap ton of plants in the tank so there's less 'veiw' for the fish to see eachother
