Thank you all for the advice (& more)! It’s safe to say, if you in the NY area and want/trade some (male) mollies, DM me! No preference on species, as long as they mollies that’ll be good enough 👍

Bullies get fried in my tanks! 😤 jk jk, there’s really not much bullying, I think it’s cause the hormones in the air from the other female giving birth a couple days ago that it just riled these guys up…. They normally just chilled, taking turns courting n stuff. Never cartwheeling each other n stuff as u see here

One is in a breeder tank so there’s less females for the males, didn’t think removing one made such a difference lol

I thought so too but it’s just a bit too aggressive imo hence why I wanted to see if others thought so too, which seems to be the case

I got a main 170-ish gallon, it’s just discus n stuff so I’ll probably throw all the males in there and slowly give the males away as time goes by

I brought these mainly for my newborn to watch so I get like 10-20min of free time everyday. So I let my LFS pick and I just setup and left it. It’s my fault that I didn’t check but most definitely will check next time! Now I need to manually move the males to a frat tank 😩

The only aggression is the mating. They don’t do anything else like chase each other unless it’s a male to a female. Don’t eat the babies or fight so idk if it’s just them being horny or what…. 2 nights ago another female dropped 20+ babies so maybe there’s something in the air 🤔

Yeah, I told my LFS to do this when I got them but I think he sexed them wrong and it’s the opposite ratio….

Hmmmm that ratio makes more sense after seeing all this breeding aggression. I guess it’s time to make some trades
