Male guppy shadowing another

[PilotGav]

Does anyone know why this guppy is shadowing another guppy? He's glued to him. He's not attacking or being aggressive... Just being an idiot. Lol.

Either being a bully or trying to breed. Male Livebearers are a bit relentless.

Make sure the chased male is getting to eat.

i think you have a confused guppy the guppy chasing is a female that thinks shes a male and she is chasing a male, that or the female wants to mate but the male doesn't want to usually the male will chase the female in the same way

Certainly looks like two males to me.

Typical male guppy behavior, IME. They can be real goofs. If there aren't females available, they will often relentlessly pester, as yours is doing. And yes, do be sure the other guppy is getting enough to eat. This has to be very annoying to the one who is being chased. I've had to take male guppies who chase out of the tank and put them into another because I was worried about the well being of the one being pursued. When you have only males, it seems like there's always ONE that will do this, and they cannot be persuaded to stop!
