Balloon Molly Chasing Baby Molly

[naomilovesherfish]

hi i have a male balloon molly which i got a couple of weeks ago along with a female which is pregnant. the male seemed ok but now he chases a 3month old marble molly round the tank(female). everytime he sees her he chases her round and round the tank. why is he doing this?? i didnt think he would bother with the female, and she is obviously alot smaller than him so i wouldnt think he'd find her as a threat.

if she's 3 months old hes going to want to breed with her soon thats why hes chasing her its a female and he wants to do what a male livebearer does - breed with anything
