now extremely annoyed with my female molly... anything I put in that tank she wll chase... except from the Kuhlis, corys and the 2 bettas she has shredded the tails of my platys countless times and i have had to move them while they heal (i find melafix a great help TBH) but now, now she has gone way too far... from now on it is solitary confinement in a fry box untill i can find a new home for her

I will be offering mine to the cat if she doesnt stop...
 
well, he's eating at least now... doughnut is still there by his side...
 
GAAAH! now that i have taken the male out the female has started hiding and looking all sulky... and she isnt attacking anyone... wow i hate her...
 
Wow I feel your pain. When fish get all difficult. I've got 4 mollys. 3 marbles 2 female marble and 1 male marble lyretail but they all seem to get along and they sometimes include the gold dust Molly but she prefers my fm mm Platy.

Maybe she's trying to show him she's dominant but she doesn't need to and now she's sad.
 
i dont think shes sad, i think shes plotting... she is a clever little fishie at heart...
 
I'm not sure sorry. There may be a med to use or something.
 
well i have background melafix in there ATM
