The type of fertilization fish use in water?

Why do Molly fish bite each others butts?

This sounds like part of the 'mating dance' of livebearing fish. Mollies, like other livebearers, practice internal fertilisation - the anal fin of the male is modified into a tube, called a gonopodium, which he uses to place his sperm inside the female's genital opening. Male livebearers live to eat and mate; they harass the females a LOT in order to attempt to mate with them. Following her around incessantly, 'flagging' the gonopodium and nibbling at the female's backside are the ways he will try to get her to stay still for long enough to mate with her. In the absence of enough females, or when there is a receptive female in a small tank and the whole tank reeks of her, males will sometimes attempt to mate with each other. This is normal.

How does the size of the tank affect the the fishes breathing rate?

I am guessing you wish to know about fish stocking rates. Its very simple really. The bigger the fish the more water it needs. The way it works is, 1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water, every tank needs a cycled filter and every tank also needs to have at least 50% of its water changed every week. So a Goldfish (grows to about 10 inches) would need a MINIMUM of 10 gallons of water. A 10 gallon tank is not big enough because tanks usually have some kind of substrate (gravel base) and are never filled to the brim. A nominal 10 gallon tank would only actually contain about 7 or 8 gallons of water.
