Male mollies fighting

[CANOECRAZY_2002]

Anyone else seen this? My mollies that have been in tank together for quite some time now 3 weeks, have gotten really aggressive. It is just the male black lyretail molly and the male dalmation molly fighting. Tank conditions are perfect, food is good, only thing I can think of is that the male dalmation seemed to stop trying to breed with the female dalmations and was going after female black lyretail, which happened after last time female black gave birth too, but this time the males are fighting to what would be their death i am sure. I moved the dalmation male to another tank for a couple of days, reintroduced him and right back at it. Should I wait a little longer, because i want him back in that tank to breed the lyretail dalmations from now on? thanks all

Get more females or one or both of your males will lose all thier fins. You could add more plants if it's a large tank. My platies used to do that all the times one lost two fins and the others one is missing pieces.

Has nobody else experienced this? Well, they are in same tank now and they did fight it out for a while, but seemed to come to an understanding lol. I just hope they don't get quite as aggressive as they did at first there as it caused a couple of scales to be nicked on my black mollie from what I could see.
Thanks again.
