Hi, I found this on Mod Queue in the Profile Section so I moved it.

Sorry to hear you're having troubles with your female and your Gourami! What kind of Gourami do you have, and what size tank? Is it possible to seperate them? Sometime females can become nippy before giving birth, but repeated harrassment sounds more like just plain aggression. Some Mollies can be pretty aggressive. Any more information you can give would be great, to help us sort out what's going on.

i have a female (i think) speckled molly. She has it in for my two female platies and will often chase them around the tank trying to nip their fins, she isn't always like this, usually just around feeding times, however she is calm with all my other fish, just plain aggression i think.
