I'm attaching three pictures to this, in hopes of getting some support here. I've recently purchased a female molly to even out the ratio that was in my tank previously (had 1 male and 1 female.) The golden one, pictured first, has grown aggressive toward the other fish, particularly during feeding time and when scavenging for food at the bottom. I'm assuming the gold one is female, silver is male (which I can tell by his gonopodium unless I'm mistaken), but it's starting to seem like I have two males now due to this. Is it normal for the female to push other fish around? I'm thinking she may not be female since when she clamps her anal fin (which was insanely hard to get a picture of since she usually only does it when she's swimming quickly), it looks like the male's anal fin.
Any ideas as to what I can do to stop this insane amount of rudeness?
On a side note, it's really weird to see this particular pecking order since when I actually acclimated the new fish and netted them into the tank (the gold one and two girl guppies), the existing male molly and guppy went insane trying to breed with them, so I was expecting these guys to own the tank. Heh, guess I was wrong.
