Question

Are my tiger platy fish going to mate? How long will it take?

I have 2 tiger platy fish and they live with a Gourami fish. I've seen the male chasing the female sometimes so I think they may mate but I'm not sure. I've had all the fish for about a week

Answer 1

give them some time to adjust. The female may not want ot breed because he is bugging her.

Generally you should have 2-3 females for every male so he doesn't just pick on one. She mmay die due to stress if you dont get more females. Best Luck to you.
