The one he's chasing is a female. She needs to be separated from him for a few days, he could kill her. Get one of those all service utility baskets, they are plastic and have lots of wide criss cross plastic mesh. It will float in the tank, put her in there for about 3 days. Feed her in there. Then let her go and see if Mr. Studly is still interested. If not leave her in the tank, if he does confine her for a few more days. I would hand catch her, don't chase her too much, go very slow, she can't see well anyway, gently remove her from the water into the basket. Be extra careful of her eyes, and don't squeeze, just firm pressure.

Morrs are much like betas they are territorial and as a result may become preditory. If you notice the larger one beginning to bite at the smaller ones fins, sperate them for a breif period using a breeder cage in your tank.

it can be breeding behavior, but it could also be lack of room. what size tank do they have?
also, just because it's breeding behavior does not mean it's a female. no lie, studies have shown fish can have homosexual tendencies, like chasing around another male fish in a manor done for mating.

It's spring. That's breeding behavior.

ive had black moors before, and from what ive seen is that they are pretty territorial. i had one kill two fantails within a week, and another one makeone starve to death.. so he had his very own tank.

Nothing you can do but provide hiding paces and plant cover.
