Yes, mollies can nip fins, especially if they are kept in overcrowded or stressful environments. This behavior is more common in males, as they may display aggression towards other fish, particularly during breeding or territorial disputes. Providing ample space, hiding spots, and maintaining a suitable tank environment can help minimize fin nipping behavior.
