besides the "too many babies" is it okay to leave the male chasing the female around?....(it kinda looks like the male is begging to marry the female when he chases the female but the female doesnt want to and ignores him...lol)

I'll copy and paste my other answer here just to keep it all together.

You can put your guppies together, but get 1 more female so your male doesn't harrass the one to death. Male guppies are randy little critters and will chase a single female guppy until she dies from exhaustion. If you have 2 females, this gives him more options and one female will always be able to get some rest before being chased again.

You can make them eat by getting another female. Like I said, guppies need 2 females for every male, or just get all males.

And now that you say you have a 5 gallon tank, definetly no goldfish. I'll link you to that stunting article again. http://bryce.t31g3n.googlepages.com/fishstunting

You should probably get a few more females to spread out the males attention.
