I recently bought 2 female guppies and 1 male snakeskin guppy, for a total of 4 guppies (had one female beforehand). Whenever I look at them, the male is just chilling and every few minutes chases the females, though for less than a second. Is he pestering the females to mate or just annoying them?
 
He is trying to mate with the females. This is what male livebearers do :)
 
He will do that as long as females are in the tank.
 
When there are only male guppies in a tank they will try to mate with each other or any other species of fish in the same tank.
