Fighting Platties!

[ambrose]

Hello,

I have two Platties and six neon tetras in an established 10 gallon tank. My blue male platty has become very aggressive towards my red female platty. They were getting along fine until I relocated my tank (Same water, gravel, and decorations) the day after I moved the tank the male became quite aggressive.

I have read that platties should be kept in a group of one male to two or three females, should i get another female? will this solve my problem?

My female platty is becoming stressed and chased to the point where her fins are starting to slightly tear...I am worried she will die.

please help

-Rob

I think another one or two female platties of similar size will do the trick.

You generally need more females to males so more females might help. But you are probably near the limit of your tank's capacity so you can't add too many.
