My male platy chasing another male?

I just got three male platies yesterday, and today I noticed that the sun tailed platy is chasing my mickey mouse platy around. He follows him everywhere. Is this normal at all? I am worried that my mickey mouse platy is going to be stressed out.

 

Are you sure the Mickey Mouse is a male?

 

It might be rough playing

 

They could be fighting over another female. Recommended ratio is 3 females to a male.

I don't have any female in my tank though.

Sorry, must have misread that.... could you supply a picture? Are you sure it's a male?

I checked his analfin, it is pointed, so I am pretty sure is a male.

 

Maybe they are just establishing a chain of dominance.

Most likely

 

Thanks guys for the suggestions!;] Looked at the tank again when I returned home and they are not chasing anymore. The mickey mouse platy seems to have won the "battle" after all. They are quite content so far.(except for little conflicts at feeding time) Overall they are pretty peaceful right now

 

Good to hear!!!
