Fish attracted to same-sex flirts
http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/20665161
Male mollies nip both sexes to improve their chances of mating
Female fish are attracted to males that "flirt" with other males, a study has found.
Scientists in Germany studied the behaviour of tropical fish Poecilia mexicana, known as Atlantic mollies.
The female fish are known to "mate copy" - preferring to mate with males they have seen interacting sexually with other fish.
Researchers found that females still took an interest in males when their flirtations were with the same sex.
