Right now I have 3 female Mollies, 1 black, 1 silver & 1 dalmation & 2 male Mollies, black & dalmation. Question is both males seem to be comstantly picking on just the black female. Should I maybe try to seperate them somehow? Adding another female is out of the question for right now. The only option I have right now is a 1 gal tank. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ;)
 
are u saying u only have them in a one gallon tank? of course they'll harrass each other, but if u mean that is the only option to move ur fish, i'd say, do it for a few days, find a bigger tank (for all ur mollies) and then put it in there, if it dosen't help, just move that molly to the tank u originally had tem all in.
 
Sorry I didn't clarify that better. I have them in a 20 gal tank right now. 5 mollies, 4 guppies & a bristlenose pleco. I have a 55 gal that I just started a fishless cycle on 2 days ago. Right now the only thing I can move a fish to is a 1 gal tank.

So you are saying that I should move the Molly that is being harrassed to the 1 gal right? Thanks again!
