fancy guppies & red wag bothering sunset platies
I have 3 sunset platies being bothered constantly buy 6 red wag's platies & 8 fancy guppies.
 I put the sunset's in a breeder net & everything seem to calm down for a week. I just got done with the weekly water change & there back at it again. I do not want the sunset's to get stressed. what should I do I have them in a 90 gallon tank???  thank you for any information given

The red wag platies sound like males, and the 3 sunsets are probably females. Male livebearers are notoriously oversexed and will pester females.
Either swap the males for females, or get more females. If you have a 1 male for 2 female ratio, it spreads out the love, and the females don't get pestered too much.

If they're males, it's quite possible that they're looking for a little inter-species action.

I have a male guppy that chases my female bettas around trying to "hit" them. They definitely arent picky!
