Hi. My platy gave birth last week and a few days before, it was constantly hassled by my male guppy. Aparantly looking for first refusal on any eggs. However one week later and it still swims after the platy even though it has already had its babies. The platy is starting to get cheesed off and chases it away temporarily. Will this stop or do i just have a hungry/horny guppy???

Sound's like typical guppy behaviour to me. Back when I was younger I used to keep the usual Live Bearers together, and the males of all different species used to hassle the females. I found adding more females helped to 'spread the load' a bit, but more females, meant more fry.

What other fish do you have?
2 corydoras
1 platy
1 guppy
6 neon tetras
and 6 baby platy's - the males of which will be going to the LFS once they are big enough.
Its a 10 gallon tank with plenty of plants so not much room for any more than 1 or 2 additional fish.
