Question Aggressive female dalmatian molly

Hello. We lost our male dalmatian molly over the weekend. Not sure why, as there is no change in tank conditions. Now, one female dalmatian molly (who just delivered lots of babies on Monday) is very aggressive towards the other female dalmatian molly (who will be ready to deliver babies next week). Any idea why this has happened? The three of them have been together since about February. Thanks!

Default Re: Aggressive female dalmatian molly

Sorry to hear about your fish. How old was the male molly? From what I've read they live about 3-5 years. I don't know why the female would get aggressive. Are you feeding enough for both of them?

My mollies have never been agressive, they are very chill. But possibly the female is trying to protect the fry, that would be the only thing I could think of.
