A little while back I bought a pair of guppies. After they'd lived for about a month I went and picked up 3 more males and 3 more females. However, the males were much bigger than the females and even now that they've grow a bit all the males are only interested in the original female. I feel so bad for her! She is being chased all day by four males, this has got to be stressful. Has anyone else ever seen this? Is there any way to get them to leave her alone or to draw their interest to the other females? Thanks.

the best way is to have 2-3 females per male. other wise they will get picked on..
