ok so i had 3 mollies 2 females and one male sadly the male died of dropsy but i also have a dwarf gourmai who is aggressive, so when i had the 3 mollies he was fine he swam around with them and stop being aggressive now that he's gone he's be charging at the females, so my question is should i get another male mollie? i only have a 10 gallon tank so would it be over crowded? i have 2 female mollies, 1 dwarf gourmai and 3 cory cats
i would say its a longer tank then wide i also have a 20 gallon pump on it i dont want to return my fish i've gotten attached to them
 
No, I don't think. It actually depends how wide your tank is. But no it wouldn't get crowded because they're really small.


Hope this helped!! :)
 
Sorry to tell you, but your tank is way overstocked as it is. Dwarf Gourimais get really aggresive if they are crowded. 10 gallons is barely big enough for 3 mollies. Mollies get up to 4 inches and live longer in at least a 15 gallon tank. Dwarf Gourimais are also really only suited for 15 gallons and up. If you want my advice, return the mollies and the gourimai and buy 2-3 platies to go with your cory cats. Or you could get 2 more cories and 1 male or female betta. If you choose not to follow my advice, you will run into ammonia spikes in the future and your fish will be killed. It happened to me a long time ago with a 15 gallon tank that was only a little fuller than yours.
 
get the male mollie it should calm him dow and you probably should upgrade to at least a 20 gal tank that will give him some space add some hing spots like caves and hiding weed for the mollies to hide in but beware mollies breed Very rapidly and easily even though they are easy to care for they have Allot of baby's and you should find somebody or a pet store to take them off ur hands some places even will pay you for them but most places wont bec they only like to pay pro breeders and get them in surplus so they get discounts
