Doug.l Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Are Zebra Danios renown for tail nipping.? we notice our Neons are disappearing and others have their tails badly nipped. Only seems to be the smaller fish, and when they are first introduced to the tank. Trying to isolate which fish are the cause. Also have Platies, Neons, catfish, harlequin rasboras and one loach.

michael.qian Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 make sure it's not a Skunk loach, or Hora's loach. If it is then that might be your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
