i have a molly barb fish and i put some gold fish in the tank with it and my gold fish keep dieing.today i watched the molly barb go after 2 or 3 of them and it was biting on one. why is this fish doing this? is it some kind of fighting fish or something?
 
Gold fish are cold water fish, they do not go with Mollys. Mollys do better in 4, they are schooling fish, otherwise they tend to pick on the other fish, (they do this with each other, so you should get more Mollys!
 
The molly barb is a cross between a barb (a agressive fish) and a molly ( a very peacful fish) seems that yours got the agressive traitss of a barb. Fish tend to be especialy agressive to gold fish because they are such slow and unactive fish. And the gold fish die because either it experienced alot of stress from being harrassed or being injured physicly.
