Why is everyone chasing each other?

[njtransit21]

O.k, well, now I have my whole tank set up, (as seen on signature).

Now, I have seen all that Neon tetras, Platies, and guppies all get along in the same community. I have confirmed this as far as the neon tetras and the platies. But the guppies have a problem with chasing each other. I have 1 guppy who caonstantly chases the other, and the other guppy that gets constantly chased, CHASSES PLATIES!!

Is there something wrong here? The LFS is far from here, I can't switch more fish.

I think its perfectly normal. The neons are very active fish so there goin to do alot of swiming. And by them chasing eachother there either tryin to have fun or establish a pecking order

 

[njtransit21]

The neons aren't doing the chasing. It is the guppies. the guppies are either chasing the other guppy or the platy.

My bad yeah the guppys can do that. just watch out for fin nipping if that starts to happen u need to get rid of the agressive guppy

 

[njtransit21]

There is no fin nipping. The guppi just tries to slam the platy against the glass or somethin.

Yea, the neons chase each other around, but I wouldn't worry bout that,

Do you mean how do u add a signature? Just click on your name underlined at the top of the page and then go to "edit my signature". You can then write your tanks and fish, or whatever else.

Are your guppies both males? If not it could be that the male is chasing the female because it wants to mate. If they are both males, however, they might be chasing each othr and the female platies in a classic case of what I like to call female deprivation. When males don't have females to mate with, they get desperate and try to mate with everything in sight, including other males, and females of other species. Male guppies are very horny little dudes
