Platy Chasing Other Platy's?

[corinne]

I recently got a male Sunshine Platy for my 10gal tank. He seems to follow (borderline chase) the other platys all the time and I was wondering if this was normal or if it will stress the other platys?

Platies will chase other platies. More likely if the other platies are female, but they will chase males too. It's the same for a lot of livebearers. My 2 male guppies chase each other and display to each other all the time.

Agree. Livebearer tanks are baby machines! WD

What do people do with their young from live breaders? Sell them on - does it make money? Or do you just end up with more and more tanks?

I don't breed them any more because they got overloading. I used to pass mine on for free because you can't really get much for a common live bearer like a guppy or platy.
