My molly is a bully, will adding another fish help?

I have 2 female mollies right now, and one is such a bully to the other. She won't let her eat hardly anything, and the other one spends all day hiding. I bought another plant to break up his line of vision, but it doesn't seen to help. i have room for 1 more molly, would buying another make the bully a little better? Should I get a male or female, will it make a difference? (I know about breeding). Any other tips? Should I buy another live plant so the molly who barely eats can nibble on that?

    I would try getting a male molly to try and calm her down or at least distract some attention, also get some cabomba plant in there its good for hiding and nibbling on you can but only try, good look.

    I had the same problem with my female molly. She bullied everyone. A dozen danios later, she calmed down. If you have room, I'd get some blue/zebra/ or leopard danios. Their quickness distracts the bully. That worked for me.

    Mollies can become bullies in small tanks with few tankmates. The best solution is to remove the bully.

    no cause its a possibility that the fish will attack and possibly eat the other one.
