Advice in pregnant platy

[Danii]

My male platy won't leave my pregnant platy alone even though she's already pregnant he chases her around n I think she's getting stress from him. I can't even tell when she will have her babies and separate her. Any advice on what I should do??

Get more females to take the spotlight off her.

Ok thanks! I will do that

I agree with leggey. Even if you get just one more female he will still bug her but his time will be split up and gives mama a break. But you're pretty much guaranteed to have another pregnant mama! I ended up having to set up a 10 gallon just for all the fry my females were having.

Yes that I was thinking i will end up with loads of baby fry. I think the other platy fish I've got is a female aswell but the male doesn't seem to like her maybe he's a male but she seems to be pregnant aswell
