	My New Male Guppy Is Really Confused
Inkling Fish Addict Posts: 689 Kudos: 498 Votes: 11 Registered: 07-Dec-2005	As I posted in my other threads, I have recently adopted my parents guppys. I moved them to my tank that they share with some long finned gold danios. My New male keeps swimming up to one of the danios and attempts to mate with it? Is this normal or is this just a very confused guppy? Inky
