Swordtail breeding habits


I have swordtails in my tank now. 1 pineapple male 1 pineapple female 2 black females (with silver bellies) and 1 painted wag, orange and black female
For a couple of days, the male has been chasing the pineapple female, but has now appeared to moved on to the wag female.
Is it typical for a male to chase a female of his own colour strain? Or will he chase any female regardless of colour?
Because I don’t know now if he has gotten `Candy’ (pineapple female) pregnant, and is moving on to `Jasper’ (wag female)
Candy is showing no gravid spot. So how will I know if she is pregnant and about to drop?
Thanks Lisa
