Guppies can be aggressive but it's usually male guppies with male guppies. I've not heard of one going for a molly before.
Unless of course the molly is female and he's just trying to mate with her?

As with most animals, there is always the chance of a rogue individual. I think I'd be inclined to see if the shop will have him back.

What do you call a Guppy / Molly cross?

A Golly? A Moppy? A Muppy?
