tinytawnykitten Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 My friend (@Jutney) who is new on here, has a 165L community tank which at the moment houses 1 molly, 3 platties, 3 baby angels, 10 neon tetras and 6 pristella tetras. He has just added a guppy and the guppy is being quite aggro, chasing everyone and nipping. Is this normal behaviour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I bought one for his tail and he spent all his days chasing and harassing the other peaceful ones, till eventually they started ganging up on him instead. I ended up selling him to restore tranquility but that didn't work either, they were all snappy after that, the spell had been broken! In the end I sold them all and got more cardinals instead.

Soon he'll be too henpecked to want t do anything but sulk in a corner of the tank and wish someone would pour some beer in the tank.

mcrudd Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 yeah , add a couple of females.. he's probably just horny. Biggest reason why I don't have any more, I had a good ratio male and female but boy these guys just never stops, I actually felt sorry for the females :nilly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
