So I ran/am running into a few problems with my fish. Current setup is:
36 Gallon Tank (fully cycled)
3 Small Platies
1 Male Black Dalmatian Molly
1 Male Silver Molly
1 Angel Fish
8in Common Pleco
Live plants, aerator, multiple drift wood (one large separator/divider drift wood).
Now yesterday I purchased two male Balloon Molly’s, acclimated then to the tank and introduced them. At first they were fine, within an hour, one Balloon was chasing the silver Molly all over and nipping at the tail. Soon after the second balloon Molly started doing the same thing to the Dalmatian and silver Molly.
Are the balloon Molly’s typically aggressive? Is this a territorial establishment thing? I currently have the two balloons in time out. The store (aquarium adventures) said I could return them if wanted.
What do you all suggest my course of action is?
Any other fish suggestions? I’m wanting semi larger fish, along the size of my current Molly’s (roughly 3 inches)
Thanks in advance
