    Help!!! I have 2 sailfin male mollies. The two swims around and show of their big fins to each other and bash each other with their tale now and then. Why?

    Hey.

    With livebearers you need 1 male to 2 females at least. You normally cannot just keep males as they usually fight.

    Do you have females with them?

    I've kept sailfin mollies and found a comfortable medium is at least 3 females to each male, especially if you have two males in one tank.
