Just added four platies to my tank and the guppies are now tag teaming after
the one orange. I have never seen guppies go after anything like that before.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated on what to do. Thanks. :shark:
 
Try moving the decor and the plants around in the tank.That way all the fish will have to establish new territory This should help and the chasing should stop.

You many have to separate them or take them back. I've had the same thing happen and it resulted in the death of a platy and a black guppie.

You can try with the rearranging as Marinemom suggested, but IME it doesn't help when the ones being the aggressors are the new guppies, not the older residents.

Will try moving the plants and rocks around. Hopefully this will solve the problem. It is the older guppies not the new platies that are aggressors. Since
the older guppies are the problem hopefully this will work. Thanks for your help. Jon :dive:
 
true, moving your decor will only do well.... nothing. try just letting the guppies establicsh the pecking order or get mor female guppies
