I have 4 fish in my tank currently, 3 platys (1 male and 2 female) and a Male Betta, My Betta puffs up at any of the platys that get near him or his skull (tank ornament) and chases them, Last night I thought it was Normal for him to be territoral but last night I was watching him and the Male platy didn't run from the Betta and the Betta lunged at him, So what should I do?? I am leaning towards that he will calm down a bit, He has tamed down greatly, Another thing I noticed when the Male platy was chasing the females the Betta jumped right after the Male Platy:O
