Will my platys hurt each other?

Question

I read that sometimes male platys can assume dominance and you should have about three female platys to one male to avoid this problem.

I have 2 male platys and no females. They chase each other a lot and i want to know if they will hurt each other as i would like to avoid getting females if possible because i don't want them breeding.

Do i need females or is this behavior harmless.

Answer 1

There Platypu's, they dont do much

Answer 2

Platys are very peaceful, community fish, they are fine.

Mine seem to chase each other, but some just try to stick together.

Answer 3

your fish should be fine because i have all male fish in my tank and they chase eachother but dont hurt eachother

Answer 4

If they have enough space they should be ok. Maybe not happy but ok.

But if you do get females, in a community tank most of the babies are eaten by other fish AND the parents.
