Question
Hi my name is Steven I have a 10gallon table and my blue gourami and marball Molly keeps attacking my orange sailfin Molly how can I stop my gourami and marball Molly from attacking my other molly

Answer
Hello,

Gourami and mollies are both known to be very territorial fish. Getting a bigger tank or adding more decor/plants could lessen the aggression. Next time you get fish, I recommend researching them so you do not put two territorial species together again. Gourami need to only be housed with docile fish.
