Fighting Sunburst wag at it again

[Tsukiko-pyon]

Or should I say never stooped. Please help Prism, my guppy, that gets a mouth full when ever she goes out into the open. I don't know why Blaze, the fighting sunburst wag, keeps attacking her and only her. I have a 20 gallon tank and have been told to get more plants to see if that would calm her down, which I did and it failed. Now I'm stumped. The only thing I can do is poke a finger in to make Blaze swim away every time she gets close, but she always come back. So I ask for help from more experienced fish owners. Thanks in advance

sure its fighting and not the fish just trying to breed?

Well, seeing how they don't look anything alike, I wouldn't think they would get confused? This has been going on for a few months ever since last year. Is there a way to tell when a fish is trying to mate? It looks more like he's bolting straight at her and trying to rip her apart.

they will try and spawn with anything.

Would you know if this would be hurting her in anyway? Also when would this stop if that's the case?

Platies and guppies are usually pretty docile fish. I could see how mating looks like fighting. In fact, it's generally a good idea to get 2-3 females for every male to spread out the attention.
