Agressive Molly

[Hook. Line & Sinker]

Hi. I'm newer to the fish world, all I've ever kept is betta. But, I bought a tank, roughly 28 gallons big and my friend gave me 3 mollies.( 1 adult female, 2 juvenile females) Then, the adult female had babies, I have the eleven in the same tank but in a hatchery net, over time, I've added new fish and a pleco, but recently, the adult molly fish has become aggressive, chasing the other fish, she looks like she's fin nipping, but I can't find any torn fins. I don't know why she is so agressive and I don't know what to do with her. I don't have another tank to put her in at the moment.

All advise is welcome.

Well I think the female are try to be dominant female in the tank. Im not surprised that mollies are aggressive as they are always picking on other fishes, even smaller or bigger fishes than itself. Maybe get her a man?

I'm looking for a male, but I haven't found anything I like. I don't want to just grab one and throw him in.
