unfortunately yes. You should get more females... so one isn't the only one chased...or get rid of the female and get more males...
Good luck

Yup, get more females, a 1 male to 3 female ratio is best. Helps keep the fish stress levels down.

It's one of the reasons cherry barbs (and others) should be kept in schools of 5-6 or more - it keeps each female from being harassed too much by any one male.

yes! You should have at least two females for every male so he doesn't stress her out.

Yes it is. Maybe get another 1,2 females? then the current female will not be as stressed.
