guppies fighting or mating?

[fisheyfishey]

today i got two beautiful female guppies for my single male and i can’t tell if they are instantly mating or just fight or just swimming together. he keeps doing this to them and i don’t know wether to move him to a seperate 24 litre tank which i’m planning on raising any possible fry in. just don’t know if i would be concerned as i only added them today. they are in a 105 litre with 3 peppered corydoras and 6 neon tetras.

He's just trying to mate with the females - a natural consistent occurrence.

Yep. Standard male guppy behavior. Even if you have just males they'll pester each other like that. In a mix of males and females they will incessantly bug the females like that.

I started with 4-5 male and female guppies and endlers about a year ago and now have more than I want. Most of which are packed in a 10g that's loaded with java moss and red cherry shrimp that I'm about done with too. LOL
