Please see the video. I put a large camel guppy from my cousin’s tank to my tank and all of sudden my male guppies won’t let the female go. Now it has been hours that they chase and try to bite her skin, I don’t know if it is a kissing or anything else. I now worry for the well-being of the female as they contstantly harassing her. Or maybe she is enjoying but I cannot know. I also have other female guppies in the tank but only they chase this large one which is also an old guppy.
Is this normal or shall I remove this female from the tank?

Looks like the males are trying to eat the embryos. Unusual behavior imo. I suggest removing that old female.
