I have a pregnant black female molly and the black male molly is always chasing or following her around and it looks like he is nipping at her gravid spot (which, by the way, is white on a black molly ), Is this normal behavior? Is he waiting around for her to have her babies so he can eat em?
I don't know how far along she is, I've only had her for a little over two weeks. But she has already developed the boxy look.
What should I do??

I bought two black female mollies for the male. He worried one to death. I have another female sunset platy in the tank also. I have a list of my fish in my signature.

I just asked because this is what you had:
10 gal. freshwater tank,
3 panda cory's - Kitty, Pandy, Zorro
1 male guppy - Cartman
1 baby platy - Tiny
1 black male molly - Boo
1 female sunset platy - Butters
2 spotted cory's - EL & Roy

5 gal. freshwater,
1 female Beta - Elvira
1 spotted cory - Pepper
1 bronze cory - Rusty

You dont say you have any female mollies in it

Im sory about your fish though.

Ohhhh, that's cause I had added two of the black female mollies since then. I didn't add them to the signature cause you know how it is with new fish. I wanted to make sure they lived long enough to be added.
