Chasing gives them exercise, and eating gives them nutrients. Lily plants are a part of their vegeterian diet, I'm terribly surprised your babies would eat vegetables at such a young age. The guppies are fine until they get caught, don't get attatched to the fish because one day they're gonna go to fish heaven or, go to a stomach of your turtle...
