R.I.P. Bully the Molly 23 January 2006 at 9:42 am by Jason 121 views

I found Bully the Molly dead this morning in our community tank. He hasn’t been well the past few days, as it seems he got into a fight with our new German Blue Ram on Thursday (most likely, he was trying to be a bully… and the Ram didn’t want to deal with it). They hadn’t had any fights before or after, but Jess saw the end of it (when he was bit). He was bit near his stomach, and while it wasn’t a bad bite, it was a very bad place to get a bite. :(

We’ve had Bully in the tank for about a year (more or less), and he had a lot of personality (more than most of the other fish, by far). He was a big bully… he used to literally push around the other fish in the tank. I figure that they never minded, or wanted to fight back, as he was bigger than them (as he never injured them).

I don’t think we’ll replace him any time soon, and I’m not even sure we will, unless our last molly (Scaredy) has issues being the only molly in the tank (I know they like to be with other mollies).

Such a sad morning… I hate losing any fish, but losing one that we had for that long and had that much personality is very upsetting. :sad:

Here’s the last good picture I got of him…. you can see him in a few of the other pics as well:
