Help With Gourami Aggression To Mollies

[Trienchieu]

I kept the gourami for 2 weeks already and today it started chasing and wanted to nip my 2 orange mollies. I have a total of 4 mollies, 1 gourami, and 1 platy in a 20 gallon tank. Why is my gourami only chasing my two orange mollies? How do I help this situation? I've had the gourami for two weeks and it was fine.

is the tank cycled, have your tried rearranging your tank decor, i think the gourami may be territorial and you usually keep them in pair, so they bully each other, they usually go for bright coloured fish in mistake of gouramis. di

You definitely need another gourami, if not he/she will continue to be aggressive to the other fish
