Default Swordtail and gourami?

My swordtail (pure not platy) seems to have taken a liking to my gold female gourami. Keeps trying to mate with it. is it time to buy a female swordtail?

You sure he's not just trying to nip off her feelers? Watch out for that... platys can be nippy sometimes.

Many male livebearers are over-sexed and need members of their own species around to keep them from bothering other species. Get some female swords and more Golds.

Maybe your swordtail is a Charlie Sheen fan and is trying to emulate his idol.
