This is typicaly normal livebearer behaviour, your male is just displaying to her and curves his fins in her direction, you will be garanteed to have some fry soon if both parents are mature and there is sufficient cover for the new borns.

Typical guppy mating behavior... it helps to have more females than males to difuse the abuse coming from the male. How would you like it if you were a female guppyu and had a male chasing you all day long!

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers.
