Horny Molly issue?

Do not put male mollies in with two-spot gouramies. They get tired of them and stress them out till they are dead. And yes, I have put them together before. I didn't know any better then. I had a dwarf gourami srape up a sailfin molly even. Male Bettas will sometimes be dominated if you put them with Sailfin molly males if they are old. If they are young they should be fine though.
my male molly is about 6 months old a little older than my dwarfs but he is very small only 1inch long at most (probably stunted as i left him in a 28ltr holding tank to long when he was born)
That's a male livebearer for you. I used to have a few male guppies who nearly killed themselves trying to get it on with tiger barbs (which are really nippy). They'll be alright. I wouldn't worry about it unless the gourami is attacking them when they attempt spawning embraces.
