Guply(guppies and platies)

[tetrababe13]

I just got 5 new fish today. 3 male guppies and 2 female platies. So far 2 of my gups have tried to breed with my bigger platy. Is this okay? Or should I be concerned? I'm not trying to breed but would be okay with fry. The gups are following her around and rubbing up against her. Please help here is what's hopping. It's hard to see but they are right next to here and follow her every where! I think my other platy feels left out?

I just called the pet store where I got them(pet smart) and she said it wouldn't be possible because they are not comparable but I Would rather have a more experienced persons thoughts.

Any ideas?

Guppies and Platties will not breed. The male guppies will try to breed with anything in the tank. That is normal. However, they can only cross with mollies. Platties can cross with swordtails.
