While watching my fish today I noticed that apparently I have a super jerk MM platy. I have two males because I didn't want babies but now the slightly bigger and obviously more dominant one is harassing the other to the point where I'm worried about him living much longer. It's hard to relieve that in a 55g tank they could be like this and I'm wondering is this is normal and if anyone else has had this happen. The alpha doesn't ever cause damage to the other but I see the smaller one breathing really heavy and almost just giving up. What should I do? I have plenty of hiding spots too, just not finding them for some reason
