guppies and platies are not known for there brains ..if its larger than them..it must be a female...it does not mean the fish is ***..just means its little brain says FEMALE MUST MATE..if the fish is remotely the correct size and shape for a female.

Your guppy is simply keeping its options open. No need to rule out the half of it's own species...or any other similar species...or any species in general...or some of the aquarium decor.


As for the Platys. Give them time and it'll happen. Maybe they don't like that strange person standing outside their home logging what partners they choose. :evil_lol:
