OK, I have a Mickey Mouse platy (I think it is a female) and one of my male
guppies is constantly "chasing" this platy.
Sometimes I think the way the guppy behaves is some sort of mating "dance".
LOL!
Is it possible that this guppy is confused?? All if have in this tank is the
one platy and 2 Cory catfish, the 4 neons and down to 3 male guppies. But
this particular male guppy (a fancy yellow tail) has always "pestered" the
platy.
When I had 2 other platys in the tank the other male guppies kept nipping at
them. I think these other 2 platys were pestered to death.
This one guppy now is not nipping this last platy, but rather swims next to
or behind the platy all the time. Sometimes if the platy stops the guppy
does a shiver of his tail that is not normal swimming movement. This guppy
has been with this platy for many days....more so as the other male guppies
died. Now sometimes the platy hides, I think to get a break from the guppy.
Anyone heard of this type of behavior with a male guppy and a female platy??
It is the oddest thing.....only with these two fish.
Thanks,
Connie
