I recently got 2 Molly 1)black and 1)Dalmatian and also
A Mickey platy. Here's the problem my Dalmatian I know is a male
well he keeps going after my black Molly trying to mate but it also looks
like a male. I'd like to know whether my black Molly could be changing sexes
Or if I should get some females in the tank in the off chance that my Dalmatian is just
A big nympho LOL. Its a 10 gallon but I also have another 10 gallon and a 50-60
Gallon that is currently in use. I'm new to the fish world ty
 
Mollies can't change sexes.  Livebearers can't, It could be a young male, or sometimes females can be misleading. If you can post a picture that would help, but even if the male is following another male and tries to mate it will be fine as long as you don't see any serious stress.  
 
I got a female black Molly couple days ago and he did her .. then was bugging both black Millie's
So they tag teamed him and now he wont go near them.
 
They should be fine.  Often times the fish just go about their own business, if a problem arises, such as ripped fins only on the male maybe get another fish of a different species, something calm. You could get another male and female and they will still be ok.
