  • Darn Guppies!

    Can't believe this!! So I've got these male guppies in QT, one with a beautiful yellow and black tail. I come home to see him swimming real weird at the bottom of the tank. Most all of his tail is gone!! So I guess one of his roommates shredded his tail! At this point I think cichlids are easier!

    That sucks, sorry to hear that. I tried guppies years ago and it went about the same, they ended up being food in a community tank. They sure do have some really nice looking ones nowadays

      I also can't find one of my girls. Feel like I'm losing my mind! Can't believe what a hard time I'm having with these fish.

      Welcome to the family if I haven't already told you that.

        What do you have in the tank? Filter, fish, anything else?

              Whisper filter and some gravel. It's the QT tank. The beat up boy died. It didn't take long to see who the bully is. The one with the red tail/ fins, and he's the smallest one! Very full of himself and mean.

                That's what I thought! I'm feeling like I can't do anything right. Still can't find the missing girl. Took every thing out of the tank. Went through plants, leaf by leaf. Carefully looked through their roots, moved the filter, heater, ran my fingers through the sand, nothing, cannot find her. And of course the severely beat up boy died.

                  Troy I just don't get it. My cichlid tanks are easy enough.

                    What did you expect? You mixed Crypts and Bloods. They are going to fight every time.
                    The fish isn't mean. he is just doing what fish do.

                      Well the blood won the first battle. He's by himself now. Not sure what I'm going to do with the little jerk, but man he's pretty! Boys! It's always those darn boys! Can't imagine what he'll be like if he sees those pretty women I got from Crizz!

                        Agreed. Cichlids can take good amount of abuse.

                          Put some Hongi fry in there to grow out with them. They will behave.
