Whenever fish start behaving strangely, the first thing I do is check the fish out for any kind of spots or damage on its scales or fins. I also test the water for Ammonia and Nitrite and do a large water change if there is any present. Of course, the fish could be hiding from or may have been bashed by a bully so observing the tank closely for a while is also a good idea.

Why is my phantom fish staying in one corner is it because it scared because i just bought new molly fish or because its pregnant?

If your fish is pregnant, it would look larger, and there would most likely be little eggs in the bottom of the tank. If your Phantom Fish is a male, and so is your Molly, then most likely the bigger fish is 'the ruler' of the tank. Try putting your phantom fish in a different aquarium, and if it seems happier, keep it there.

Can i Keep molly in a fish bowl?

No, a fish bowl is not an appropriate environment for keeping molly fish as they require a larger tank with good filtration and water quality. Molly fish need space to swim and thrive, so a fish bowl would not provide enough room for them to be happy and healthy. It is recommended to keep molly fish in a tank that is at least 10 gallons in size.
