    Strange guppy

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    The guppy would stop any of the other fish get to the surface to feed more often than killing them directly.

    Attacking a sick/weaker fish is not an uncommon behavior. You see it more in schools of fish than individuals, but you'll also see it in some individual fish. It happens. Given that the other fish died, and guppies aren't typically a killing machine, I'd say disease killed them and the guppy was just trying to keep them as far away as possible.

    No. The tippy would stop them from eating by not letting any fish get to the surface,beating them up and stealing food from other fish

    A friend of mine has a tank with some neon tetras, guppies and a snail. One of the guppies started to kill the tetras and the other guppies by fighting them and stopping them from feeding. It killed all but one tetra which they named slippy because he "slipped" away from the killer guppy. Then the guppy then hopped the twig too. Is it common for guppies to act like this? They got the fish in a massive fish-only pet store which is very good.

    Congratulations! That's awesome.

    Step 1.... Corydoras. 😉

    Following that, I would ask a few things. What kind of fish interest you and your wife? Specific colors or personalities?

    Do you have a stand for it as well?

    When I got my 55 I did a large species tank (20+ of a one type) with corydoras and a lot of nice plants.

    Cories are the best! I recommend them. I have a pair of pepper cories and a false julii (1 of them died recently😥). amazing beasts. They are interesting.

    Feeder conundrum

    I went holiday recently. Instead of putting a feeding block in the the tank which always kills one of the fish, my dad got an automatic feeder. It puts too much in the tank but we settled it up anyway. Came back a week later and one of my cories went all mouldy and died😭😭😭😭. Can you put something like gravel in the feeder to pad the food out?

    URGENT getting new tank.

    You thought I was going to get 454 litre tank! I'm not sure you can buy them in the pet shop (Even in the massive fish shop in Dublin)

    Hello! Tomorrow my family are getting a 100 or 120 litre tank. It is the aquanano 60 or 80. We have come up with the fish: 5 galaxy rasboras, 5 zebra danios, 5 female bettas, 4 kuhli loaches and 7 cories (lots of plants too) we also have a tank that we can move fish into. Will this work?

    Moving fish tank

    My family are planning to move the fish tank to the kitchen. My only worry is the coffee grinder is going to cause the fish stress but it is only on 30 seconds a day. In the other hand it is extremely loud. My dad says not to worry but I'm not sure. Could someone please give me some advice?
