They eat their babies.

All fish eat other fish. Fish are opportunistic feeders, which means that they eat when presented with food, regardless of if they are hungry or not. Fish will eat any dead fish in their tank. If a dies, it needs to be removed right away so it does not spread disease or pollute the water.

What if your goldfish seems to be trying to mate with your black Mollie is that possible?

Goldfish are cold water fish and should not be kept in an aquarium with a tropical molly. There is no way they can cross breed. Fish are not stupid and do know the difference between one of their own species and a species that should not be in there with them. It is quite possible the goldfish will eventually kill the molly. Failing that, if your tank is not heated, the Molly will probably die during the winter if the temperature gets below 65F for too long anyway.


Can Asian carps mate with other types of fish?

Asian carps, such as the bighead carp and silver carp, primarily reproduce within their own species. They have specific reproductive behaviors and physiological traits that generally prevent them from successfully mating with other types of fish. While hybridization can occur between closely related species, it is rare and usually produces infertile offspring. Therefore, Asian carps do not typically mate with other fish species.
