ill start of that i have two tanks a 55 gallon and a 15 gallon. in the 55 theres a clown loach, very fat rainbow shark, an 11 inch beautiful polypterus named nessie, well a small pleco and a small cori catfish. anyways long story short i found out nessie would like ghost shrimp when i bought her and storred them in the 15 gallon with the small guppies that came with them. it turned out i was given endler livebearers which are semi-rare fish 2 females and a male, male passed away today. also if you were thinking about the tankmates in the 55 gallon, yes i had an amazing oscar who passed due to two territorial catfish that i nolonger own. the question is that along with the two impregnated guppies are two mollies a male and female, i want to know if my mollies can go in the 55 gallon tank unharmed but nessie. the story was pretty interesting right? thanks to whoever took the time to read all this.

You don't have any room in the 55 gallon. Clown Loaches get up to a foot long and need to be kept in large groups to feel secure. Clown Loaches should really have 100+ gallons of water as adults. The Rainbow Shark will tear the Mollies apart. I made the same mistake, and overnight, the Shark violently attacked the Molly until it died.

Always make sure any new fish you add to an existing community are compatible to the resident fish! Any fish, even mollies and guppies can have aggressive tendencies! I have 10 aquariums and an isolation tank for all newcomers! Good Luck hon!
