Mollies

[DevilsAdvocate]

A couple of my mollies seem to be what i can only describe as scratching thereselves on things....the heater mostly...ive only ever seen them do it after feeding them blood worm aswell? never seen them do it before.

also one of my male black mollies...the bigger of the two becomes very aggressive to my smaller male whenever i feed the bloodworm? is there a reason behind this>? or is just cause its his fav food he never does it when i feed flake,brineshrimp or the vegies.

any help is appreciated

Fish often scratch on things but....watch carefully if it becomes common then it could be an indication of disease such as ich, gill flukes etc. It is common for the bigger molly to pick on the little male(its a dominance thing) Just make sure it doesnt get out of hand and everything should be fine.

its probably ich

It only happens after feeding bloodworms?

Bloodworms is a "choice" food. I guard my chocolate but might be caught sharing my lima beans...
