female molly chasing male?!?

i just got a female molly to go with a nother female to stop the male from chasing her... but now the new female is snipping at the male!!!! is this like reverse pyhscology or sumthin???

 

my platy female would get tired of the male once in awhile and chase him, his fins where badly nipped in the end. But lotsa fish end upo doing that i know my zebra danio female chases my males all the time.

 

I have seen that behavior in my guppies as well...who knows, maybe they just get sick of being chased so intensely and just want some payback! j/k

 

dating perhaps?

 

I had a female guppy that, after giving birth a few times, would kill the male.

"I'm not getting pregnant again! DIE!"

Jesus chelle :lol: My guppies and mollies tend to do that sometimes, if their ever to badly nipped I treat with a little bit melafix (pond edition as someone said is cheaper)

 

HAHA, nice Chelle, & yeah i think we had a post about the pond melafix. i havnt seen any around here though and i still have 1/2 a bottle left.

 

There's a landscaping place here that sells some pond suppiles and that's where I get my pond Melafix. I bought mine about 4 months ago and even with my african cichlids and my 2 oscars that decided they hated eachother, I still have 1/2 a bottle left.
