Sorry, I feel like I'm being a pain already.
I bought a couple of Guppies last week, the plan was to get more, I just wanted to know they'd be alright.
I was told they're peaceful fish yet they keep attacking the Mollies. There are 2 of them so they surround the molly yet it doesn't seem bothered, it doesn't swim off or try to defend itself, there are 5 mollies and the Guppies do it to them all. I keep checking though and there aren't any chunks out of the fins or anything, so are they biting them or just annoying them for the fun of it? they only do it to the Mollies.
Another question, I looked at the Guppies when I got them home and they seemed to be 2 males, they have that fin (can't remember what it's called) but today I've noticed they chase eachother, rub along each other, and one of them aims the fin at the other. Am I wrong about them both being male or are they just desperate for some females? I will be getting some more on Sunday anyway, I want to know they're females though.
I also read that getting females could also solve my first problem with the Mollies.
