Oh, juggling is hard work, man!...
Thanks for your corrections.
My tank is planted. I have 3 other lampeyes. But she don't seem to be bothered about them. Guppies don't like planted tanks?
Guppies looove planted tank.
But female chasing male...? Never had this problem before... dominant??
I have read that females tend to be more aggresive when they are pregnant.. such as when it is the first pregnancy or the male is constantly bothering the female to mate even when she is pregnant.
However the above does not apply to all guppies as some hobbyists did not notice any big difference in behavioural change.
I am not too sure about this recommendation (you may want to check with the more experienced guppy keepers) but IF your female guppy is not pregnant and yet still aggressive, you may want to get another female as the ideal ratio for guppies is 2 females to 1 male. This may ease some stress off your aggressive guppy by diverting some attention of the male.

Correction. Guppies don't mate. Rape is more accurate word. Just put a few guppies in a tank and you will see what the males do to the females.
I ever see aggressive females actually "chased" the male till the male (due to bigger finnage) got torn fins & tail and died.
So I would suggest getting another male to divert the female aggressiveness.
Preferably, you find, observe and get a male that is already chasing females in the shop should you want to have "frys".
