Do male mollies fight with another male mollies?

no,your probably thinking about simese fighting fish. Answer- Mollies could fight if they wanted to. My mollies fight when they are intruding their partner. They will chase each other and nip each other. They don't kill each other. Don't separate if they chase each other. They are just showing who is the boss of the tank. If they are missing fins and scales you should separate them.


Which fish are better mollies or guppies?

Guppies would show a lot of different colours whereas the molly doesn't have as many colours as the guppy. Guppies and mollies however are said to be delicate fish so you must be careful what you put in your tank. Male fighting fish would think the brightly coloured guppy tails are other male fighting fish and would try and fight them. Mollies would tend to nip at fish with long fins. Both mollies and guppies are friendly. They are both active and eat a lot.

Fish that have long, wavy fins should not be put with guppies, because guppies will nibble their long fins. Also, many bigger fish will eat guppies. Keep a separate tank with guppies and a few "cleaner" fish, which do not harm guppies.

Would and Angelfish fight with Guppies plus Black Widow Tetras plus Danios plus a honey Gourami plus a Platy plus 2 Balloon Mollies and a Betta fish?

Well, the guppies might nip the angelfish's fins, which, in return, would cause the angelfish to chase and possibly eat them. The angelfish would terrorize the danios and tetras by chasing them. Quick side note: if you are planning on keeping a platy, I really wouldn't keep one! They're quite social fish, and they like to be in small groups. Basically, the angelfish will chase any small fish. The biggest problem you will encounter with this aquarium setup is the fight between the angelfish and the betta. I know from experience-I kept an angelfish and a betta together in a tank myself, and the betta ended up dying. The angelfish will nip the betta's fins, and the betta will nip the angelfish's. They will chase each other and bite a lot. My betta had fin rot and died because the angelfish had caused the fin rot to grow due to the fact that she had torn off all of his fins. I would definitely rethink this aquarium setup.
