Female platy adores other female

[AmazonMama]

Hey all!
I just joined and need some expertise. I have a very strange anomaly in my tank. I have 4 platys -- 3 female and 1 male. My largest (also oldest) female seems to be besotted with another female. She swims by her constantly. No headbutting or food snatching. No aggressiveness. In fact, I thought I had possibly been mistaken about her sex, but no. Her swimming is agitated and she seems to panic if she grabs a bit of food and the other moves off a bit. I've never seen anything like it. Any ideas?

Hi and welcome to the forum

Any chance of a picture and short 20 second video of the fish?

If the pictures are too big for the website, set the camera's resolution to its lowest setting and take some more. The lower resolution will make the images smaller and they should fit on this website. Check the pictures on your pc and find a couple that are clear and show the fish, and post them here. Make sure you turn the camera's resolution back up after you have taken the pics otherwise all your pictures will be small.

If the video is too big for this website, post it on YouTube and copy & paste the link here. We can view it at YouTube. If you are using a mobile phone to take the video, have the phone horizontal so the video takes up the entire screen. If you have the phone vertical, you get video in the middle and black on either side.
