Best Answer

Yes. They will hang on the tank wall, or plant and eat their own egg sack - from which they were hatched - for about 3 days. After that, you can feed them brine shrimp or crushed up, very small flake food

Your fighting fish keeps getting attacked by your molly?

It is unusual for a molly to attack any other fish as they are quite a peaceful fish. At a guess I would say that it could be because the Siamese fighter is ill and the molly is taking advantage of the fact or because the molly is male and protecting its females. It's difficult to say without seeing the tank. Hope this helps.
