it depends how big the tank is. since this type of fish stays relatively small, use the one inch of fish per gallon of water rule. mollies are a grouping fish and should be kept with 4-6 or more of their own kind. you can keep them with platies, guppies, swordtails, endlers livebearers.... many freshwater peacefull fish will 'play nicely' with them.

Try putting your phantom fish in a different aquarium, and if it seems happier, keep it there.
