Hey i have 3 red platys and the two males seem to be chasing eachother eachtime they get near the female, does this mean there just deciding who is dominant ? I hope i have fry's !!!!

Really it should be 2-3 females per 1 male so thats gonna cause problems. They will be deciding who gets to mate with her.

Platys and most other live bearers should be kept in a ratio of 1 male to 2 females.

The males are showing agression toward one another as they are competing for the females attention, and she will no doubt become stressed through the harrasment of two potential mates. Get yourself another few females and you should be ok.
