Kookie Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 My male swordtail, seems to have a problem with my 1 guppy and 2 platy's. He will chase them, taking pot shots at them. He only seems to do this when my female swordtail brushes him off. He's a randy lil bugger and always tries to "get his leg over", and she takes no crap from him. So it seems frustration is making him harrass the 3 other fish. He leaves all the other fishies alone. What are your ideas or suggestions for this?

Faran Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Visit Paul and get some more female swordtails. 2-3 girls to each boy is pretty normal or livebearers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivienne Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 See my topic of the same name! Guess I better just get rid of my male. Randy or aggressive? I dunno, but I wouldn’t put up with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 From everything I've read so far, the females should always out number the males YIPPEE :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: One of my guppies (Blue, male) and one of my platies (The Little One, male) like to give chase to another platy (Mickey, male) quite often. I did a post about it sometime ago & it was pretty much believed to be nothing more than some amourous behavior :-? :-? Even though all are males! But seriously, I think it is usually at least 1 male to every 2-3 females! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
