Guppys Enoying Platy

[FiSh123FiSh]

I have 2 male guppies in my tank and 1 platy with a load of other fish. My 2 guppys are swimming with the platy constantly and kind of nipping the platy its really strange coz i have about ten 2 1/2 month old platy fry in there and they never bother them!?? can anyone help?

They could be:

A - picking parasites off the platy.

B - trying to intimate dominance or shoaling behaviour.

C - trying to get her to 'mate' with them, and then getting annoyed...

Sounds like you could do with a few more of each, so that they have members of their own species to interact with...
