hi anyone bought 3 black mollies at weekend, one male and two females ive noticed the male keeps chasing the other fish,and today noticed my female guppy hardly got a tail left. are mollies aggressive and will my guppies tail grow back thanks anji

welcome to fp...from my experience mollies aren't aggressive, but it's been many years since I had them. Make sure you have plenty of plants and places for you fish to hide in...it will also help when one is being chased, the phrase, "out of sight, out of mind" really pays true to most fish.

Treat you guppies with some melafix and the tail will be fine...if it doesn't grow back, he should still be ok, just not the pretty tail...One of Leslie's White Clouds got a bit frisky one evening himself with a betta girl, and well, we'll just say she wasn't appreciative and took his tail to help him remember his place...

best of luck, heidi

Usually very peaceful, but will on rare occasions nip fins. whats in ur tank now?? do u have enuf swimming area for them?? and yes..the tail fin will grow back...
