tiger shark?! you mean redtail shark?
they can be pretty mean, indeed. I would think about maybe removing it from the tank and seeing how the mollies last, then.

are your ammonia and nitrite levels fine?

Mollies are hardy fish inthat they will survive in almost any water except soft/acid. That doesn't mean theysurvive sudden changes. I have only kept them as feeders or bait, but you can breed thm in a well planted bathtub. The fancies are inbredjeds and are going to catch every disease trhey get exposed to. Nice feeders.
