Hi all,
Still new to this hobby. I recently lost almost all of my stock due to Ich. All that survived was a female red wag platy. It has been 2 weeks since the Ich, so I went to LFS to get 2 more Platys, 1 female and 1 male.
My stock is now 2 female, 1 male. The new female Platy seems to be bullying the other two. I've fed the fish since being introduced to the tank and know all of them have had a healthy meal.
The fish mostly wander off in their own areas, but when the bully female comes across one, they sort of get in a "formation" side by side. The bully lets the other swim a little farther forward and then chases and nips at the back of the other.
I have a 29G tank, the new fish have been in there for about 5 hours. Any suggestions? I don't think LFS will let me take it back due to aggression.
