I think he was stressing out my other fish i put him in a breeder tank

Just get more females you'll be fine. They will mate with males and females.

I agree, I've noticed with Molly's you pretty much need three females to each male. I had a single pair but the male was running her to near death and I had to go get two more females to calm things down a bit.

If you have tank space, add more ladies. If you don't have tank space and it is stressing out other fish, consider returning him. Nothing you can really do about fish hormones. I have platies who will hit on anything, and a molly who has a crush on Buenos aires tetra.
