About 2 or 3 weeks ago I introduced 1 male and 3 female guppies to my tank of Swordtails and Mollies.

I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not, but I'm sure the male guppy thinks he is a Molly. I have NEVER seen him anywhere near or interested in the female guppies, but rather he spends his whole time chasing the mollies around.

I have seen his gonopodium (not sure of spelling) come out to the side when he's near a female molly, but I've never seen him actually close enough to mate. So, does anyone know if Guppies can mate with Mollies? Or can he quite innocently continue believing that he's a Molly?
 
I have heard stories of guppy/molly crosses but have never actually seen one. I suspect that your guppy will eventually figure out who he should be courting.
