nicmack Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 i have just noticed this morning on one of my guppies that its tail looks like tiny wee bits ae missing, there isn't anything in the tank really to be agressive towards it there are 3 harlequins, 3 zebra danios and 2 platties left......the tail almost looks a little bit brown and patchy is this because the parastie has got at it.... he still looks perfectly happy and is eating??

Devon Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 How bigs the tank? What filtration do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicmack Posted October 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 its an aqua one 620 with a 90litre capacity, it has the standard filtration system in place I have noticed that one ofthem seems quite agressive towards the plattie as well is this normal?

Devon Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 It could be that the fish are just nipping at each other. Someone times fish can get caught in the inlet house of the filter. Treat the water with some melafix and he should come to. P.S my 300th post yay!~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keri Anne Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 If you have more males than females the males will attack each other for mating rights. Either have no females or at least 2-3 for every male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I used to get simalar problem with guppies. They used to get red spots on them. It was just them fighting amonst themselfs. Loads of sites recommend 1 - 3 male to females raito. But 2 - 3 has worked fine aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
