Chasing

[agentamalia]

I have a red platy that keeps chasing an orangish one and idk why. I think they are both males if that helps. Are they just being territorial?

If they are both males than they may just be being territorial but if it is possibly a female and a male, the male would probably be the one doing the chasing and wants to mate. Can you post a picture, if you're not sure about if one is male or female.

You probably either need to go and exchange one male or get 2 or 3 more females otherwise the 2 males will stress the 1 female out so much she could die. That will probably also resolve the males "fighting".
