when you say going at do you mean chasing? like fin nipping? or are others chasing her? what other fish are in the tank with her? if she's fat then not fat anymore maybe she was pregnant then had here babies. check the tank for fry. between gravel and in plants. or maybe you over fed her.

The mollie chases them, in the tank we have 2 red tail sharks,silver shark, 2 angel fish,2 black mollies (male & female),2 tiger barbs, 2 kissing gouramisand five small gold barbs and a small plec. We bought the tank abt 3 month ago with most of the fish in. Dont think were over feeding as the other mollie isnt fat.But to me she looks pregnant. But there again i am new to this

let's just go with her being pregnant because she probably is.she looks pregnant. mollies are very prolific.

the swollen belly usually is pregnancy.
I had 2 male and one female black mollies. Was unsure about gender at the time. Found one male was constantly attached to her, and stopped the other male from doing the same.
I never found any fry, but always assumed that any live would be eaten immediately by the male. Possibly a wrong assumption. She is now alone afetr both have died and she never looks happy

what throws me off is that you say in goes down then big again.
