Hi,
I have a 70l planted tank. It had 2 black mollies in it and 2 serpae tetras. I recently added 2 small columbian sharks and an apple snail. Since then, the mollies are just sitting near the surface in two corners of the tank. Otherwise, they hide behind plants or the toys. Before I added the sharks, the mollies used to play a lot.
Please help!!!
P.S. : I noticed that the mollies are eating well (just like they used to before I added sharks).
I searched on net and found that Columbain sharks are actually catfish and are not aggressive at all. Even in the aquarium, the mollies do not run away even if the columbian sharks approach them…
They are afraid of the sharks. The tank is too small for them to be able to move freely with the sharks. Mollies tend to do this with most fish in its community if it is not the largest. You should either take the sharks or the mollies out or the cycle will continue.
i know why your molly not active as it used to be.
