balloon molly harassment

[brookie]

my balloon moly is pregnant and i dont know by how much because i got her at the pet store yesterday the male kept "biting or sniffing" her spot and i put him in a breeder net over night when i got home from school he was doing fine i gave him a second chance put him in and now he is trying to mate with her and she keeps running away and he doesnt stop i put him back in the net and was wondering why he is doing this, if this means she is farther along then i think im so confused please help me.

right the best thing to do is stop moving the fish it will stress the little thing out, try to get some more females so that the male has something else to chase mate. then usually nature takes its cause
