Aggressive Molly?

[FIRSTFISH]

I am new to fish ownership. Have a Dalmation Molly, Micky Mouse Fish and a Red Wag Platy. The Platy and Mickey Mouse seem to be hiding from the more active Dalmation. Do I have a compatibility issue???

I don't know about fish that much as I am fairly new myself, but I have 2 female molly's and one male molly and he is aggresive towards them when I feed them and the food is almost eaten. Is your molly a male? If it is and there are other males in the tank and no females or one female and another male, that may be why your molly is being aggressive towards the others.

Hi FIRSTFISH. Could you let us know what size tank you have, if it is planted/decorated, how big your dalmation molly is, and if it is male or female?
Be warned - soon we are going to ask if your tank is cycled, and what the water parameters are but since your question is about compatibility, let's start with the first queries.
