Rainbow Platty Bully

[ebrcknrdg]

I have a female rainbow platty, a female wag tail platty and a male sunset platty. The rainbow platty is larger than the other two and bullys them alot, the female more than the male. She chases them around the tank, as a result the male and female stick together whilst the rainbow one seems to be the most dominant over tank space and food. I am moving them to a much larger 125L once its cycled so im hoping this will calm her down. Is there anything else i can do to make the two poor platies lives more comfortable? Maybe by getting more females in the larger tank or does my female rainbow want a mate?

Plant it and get other places for them to hide, and they will do much better in a 125l

they are currently in a smaller planted tank whilst the 125L is cycling. The larger tank is well planted so should ease the problems. cheers
