Big Bully Mollie

[abi]

I've got a male molly which is always bullying the other fish!Mostly the female mollies!We got him in a pair but the female died after being chased by the male all the time!We've bought a new one but she is much smaller than the male!I'm just wondering do you think she will survive?

you should have at least 2 females for every male Mollie, as the male will harass the female and she will get stressed/ill as has already happened once.
either get rid of the male or get more females for him

mollies usually only bully their own species i have never seen them attack other fish, if this is happening i would just remove and get rid of the male

Are you sure he isn't trying to get the females pregnant, To put it nicely

Try providing a place for the female to hide until you get another one. Also, how large is the tank? I have heard cases of mollies (even females) harassing other tank mates in very small aquariums.
