[brew86uk]

Hi guys having big problems with my sliver male molly is attacking all my fish in my tank Angel fish kissing fish golden gourami being a rich bully anyone can help me please thanks

Can you give us more details? Tank size, how long it's been up, stock, water parameters? How long have you had these fish?

Tank is 45G I have 12 fish one big pleco is the rest gourami fish water is spot on

But also an angel? What types of gourami?

Rather than "spot on," what are your parameters? All fish need 0 ammonia and nitrite, but different species like different pHs and hardnesses.

I would personally take out the bully. It only gets worse. There's no real solution. One thing that has worked for me in the past though, is putting the bully in a net overnight. They don't like it and sometimes it works to calm them down. Worked great for my Red Tail Shark.

For future reference mollys have a tendency to nip at others to establish dominance. When I first got my Molly's it took a week or two for things to calm down in the tank. The nipping usually doesn't damage the other fish they just lIke to set up their hierarchy.
