I have a 10 g. tank. With one black mollie, one dalmation molie and, one platy. I decided to get a new platy so my other one wasn't lonely. I assummed it was a girl platy so i wanted to get another girl ( i already have to many fry)
When I got a new one the store only had boys left so I took one. I put him in the tank,but i noticed he was much smaller than my girl platy. My girl (platinum) was all over him but he seemed to be frightend and kept swimming away. i went to bed and the next morning i couldn't find him. Then I looked in the back of the tank he was stuck behind the net breeder. I set him free but he kept getting stuck and I think hes running from platinum.
Then today i saw a big bite was taken out of his tail. :-( should i move him or move her??? is he just stupid or scared???
now it seems as if platinum is leaving him alone but he is still getting stuck!!!
Help!!!

oh i need a name for my male platy. he is a "blue platy" and hes kind of hallagraphic because in the light he looks purple. sometimes even white. hes very small too. any ideas??? 8)
 
no one else replied so i'll give it a try.........first your net breeder......my male platy did that all the time so i had to move it out so that he didn't get stuck........and now your problem.......u could try and isolate the female for awhile while the male establishes himself and maybe when u release her she will b a bit less confident and leave the poor guy alone....

i would move the net breeder outward so that he can get thru ok

as a name maybe Shimmer or Dusk
heh heh......well thought i'd try and help :thumbs:
 
thanks alot. i wll move the net breeder tonight and put platinum in the main tank thanks
