My Dalmation Sailfin Mollie, The Bully !

[Daveypaul]

I have 12 fish in total in a very large tank,

4 Neon Tetras
1 Male Dalmation Molly
1 Female Dalmation Molly
1 White Female Molly
1 Golden Female Molly
1 Black Female Molly
1 Female Mickey Mouse Platy
1 Female Platy
1 Male Swordtail

The problem I have is my Male Molly is darting, chasing and generally bullying all my females, both mollies and Platys, the only female that he is not bullying is my Mickey Mouse Platy, probably because she is bigger than him, lol. The thing is it doesnt look like hes trying to mate with the other molly females except the female dalmation but yet she keeps pulling away from him when he trys to mate. Can anyone suggest anything for me to try and stop this bullying, or even explain why hes doing this.

Regards

David

I think Maybe your right, Ive heard that Sailfins can be quite aggressive too.
