Problem With My Swordtail

[Jthund3r]

Ok so I recently set up my 20Gal tank and have 2xPineapple Swordtails and 2xGold Dust Mollys, one male and one female each. I have small rocks on the bottom of the tank as a bedding and a few large rocks for hiding places. The problem that I am having is that my female swordtail is chasing the other 3 and seems to be bullying them a bit. My male swordtail died the other day and I just got another male along with an algae eater. My question is if there is anything i can do to either get another fish to keep the peace or if i am doing something wrong to aggitate the female.

that seems a bit unusual for a female to be bullying a male... its usually the other way around. probably less males would do the trick.

Does the female swordtail look pregnant?

If she is and is getting close to giving birth she will quite often chase other fish away and tend to hang around in a certain spot.
