	dalmation molly
nr22173 Small Fry Posts: 14 Kudos: 14 Votes: 0 Registered: 02-Jan-2005	I have a dalmation molly that is very aggresive. He has bit my redeye tetras in the tail and the mouth. He is the only molly their besides two of his fry, but he was very aggressive even before the fry. Is their anything I can do to stop his aggression? I've had other mollies in their and he chases them also.

I believe it is better to keep more females to males in your tank. Is your molly male or female? Is your fish nipping or biting or just chasing?
