guppy harrassing platy?

[Catgirl78]

Currently, we have 2 female and 1 male guppies. They were supposed to be 3 males, but I figured out they were 2:1. The store was wrong! Thankfully, they are getting along well.

My problem is we also have 2 Mickey Mouse platies (1:1). I noticed that the male guppy bothers the male MM platy sometimes. I just saw tonight that the MM platy has a red spot on his left gill on the bottom. I watched the guppy go right to that spot.

What should I do to get the guppy to leave the platy alone?

To be honest there is not much you can do, short of removing one of the fish. More hiding spots may help. He could also be picking on the platy because it is injured, you may want to put the platy into another tank until the wound heals.
