my male molly is following my female molly with his mouth by her analfin.
he only does this to one of my mollies tho.
are they breeding or about to breed?

Yeah, he's probably trying to stimulate the female to mate with him. If you do not want babies, I suggest you take your randy male out of the tank and give him a seperate tank.

Probably because she is the only one producing the pheramones that say "I'm cheap, I'm easy, one beer and I'm all yours." Okay, kidding. But she is probably the only one in the tank producing the pheramones that say she is ready to mate. The other two may already be pregnate, and therefore are not receptive to the male and are not producing pheramones that attract the male. He may try to advance on them if he runs out of receptive ladies, but they will probably either flee him, or tear him to little bits.
