Bully Platy?

[nccj]

Hi, I bought a new tank a few months ago, had a few neons at first, I bought 3 Platy's on Monday, 2 x orange 1 x black

The black one spends day chasing and seemingly trying to nip the other two

Any idea why this would be or how to stop this?

Thanks.

do you know what gender they are? x

Sounds like the black one could be a male & the others are female

im no expert, but maybe he is just trying to mate? my guppies did a similar thing and they were all fine x can you see any obvious injury's on the females? x

Hi, thanks for the replies,

I've no idea what sex they are (how can i tell please?), and there aren't any signs of injuries.

Thanks

hey x if u look at the fin near the fish's bum hole (sorry no nicer way to put it) if its a boy its pointy and if its a girl its curvy :L x thats what i was told anyway xx i think there is a post on the live bearers section on how to sex live bearers, they will probs explain better there x
and thats good x im sure they are only chasing eachother round, my guppies spent all their lives happily chasing eachother round lol

Hi, we were given 3 Guppies, put them in the tank and this seems to have stopped the chasing?
