It sounds like you have them in a very small tank, and that may have something to do with the aggression. From my experience, the red wag platy seems to be the most peaceful of the platy varieties, but males usually chase females rather persistently. If you start the ten gallon tank with one male, two females and plenty of floating plants, the females will have a chance to rest and will fill the tank with fry.

Since I don't know your level of experience, I'll ask if the ten gallon tank is fully cycled. To find out you can test for ammonia and nitrite. After the tank is cycled, try using the drip acclimation method for introducing the new fish.

Welcome to the forum!

Never seen a post without a number of posts... Is that a glitch?
