come get me tang police!
It's happened but it's not a common occurrence, not to mention that is definitely a guppy and doesn't have any molly in it at all.

I realize that is fish does not have molly in it... i was just curious about other tank mates that guppies have mated with before...
my other male guppy, it seems like he will not leave my female platies alone.... my male swordtail is doing this too... but the swordtail is MUCH more aggressive with his tactics, he lunge at them (kind of like he is nipping at them) then he backs off, swims around, then follows one and does the same thing over again.... WHY? i feel bad for them

These male livebearers can be particularly aggressive and annoying towards females in the tank. They can even harass them to death if left unchecked. To quell aggression, people often suggest putting multiple females for each male, but I've seen even that doesn't help sometimes.
One thing that does help is lots of plants in the tank. I have lots of java moss in my guppy tanks and the females can get away from the males a little easier.
The males will try to mate with anything in the tank, I've even seen them try to mate with one another.

How many watts and how tall is the tank?

each bulb is only 15w... so 45w total... and the tank is 26-28in deep (just over 2 feet) from water surface to substrate
