You need to keep livebearers in harems. More females than males to spread their attention out. I've had females jump from the tank to get away from males.

Most livebearer males do not care what species the female is. I had one in my tank that tried to mate with my female betta lol.

common for male livebearers to attempt mating with almost anything....
if you levebearers are choking on pellets ; quit feeding them pellets....for livebearers i would suggest either a good flake food and/or a product like #02 Plecocaine which is a granule rather than pellet.....

Same with me, my male guppies would try to mate with my tetra, and my tetra would dart quickly away.
