Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Agressive Molly

I have a male Black Molly that is bullying some of my other fish at feeding time.

He chases the Zebra Danios away from the the flakes at the top of the tank and even chases my male Platy away from those that float down to mid level.

Is this normal for all Mollies or is it just because he is a male?

My Neon Tetras rarely venture from the bottom of the tank. Is this normal behavior for them or is it a result of the Black Molly chasing their tank mates around?

I have some Cory Cats and a Pleco at the bottom of the tank whom he doesn't bother nor do they seem bothered by him, but I think the rest are a bit wary of him.

What to do?

I had a male silver molly that was just like that...
Try to separate him for a day or two. If you can get a net breeder, they're like 3 bucks, and just hang inside the aquarium, that would work just fine.
