Aggressive Platy Fish?

[joselaz5780]

I have 3 red wag platies and 3 mickey mouse platies and the biggest mickey mouse platy is chasing 2 of the red wags, and the red wags seem to fight back too, what do i do?

Are you sure it's a bully and not a male harassing a female?

 

[joselaz5780]

i'm sure, all my platies are males since they were mating too much

I'd think about taking the bully out then. Either put him in another tank if you have one, or return him to the shop and get another

yeah i will most likely return him, i wouldn't like for him to be alone or beating up my other fish.... but the red wags are fighting back and i have over 5 caves and 4 plants for them to hide so ill give it a few more hours to see

Don't worry, quite a lot of people buy fish and have to return them as one turns in to a bully. Happend to me so many times when I used to keep plattys, guppys etc...

never happened to me before, but i guess there's a first time for everything right?
