Gourami Harassment

[Piltdownpaul]

I have a dwarf honey gourami whos a happy chappy swimming about doing his thing in the community tank. I have 2 dalmation molly brothers who play about together but one keeps trying to mate with the gourami! Has anyone else noticed this-surely my molly isnt blind or maybe hes desperate!

Do you have female mollies?
Male mollies can be very aggressive, especially when they are trying to mate.
I've seen male mollies chase other males, guppies...anything that moves haha

I had a mean Molly that nearly killed my Dwarf Gourami. Keep an eye on them !

Yes i'll keep any eye on them-they arent being brutal or anything -just trying to mate and giving up!
