Guppies being nipped????

[emilyb1987]

Hi,

I am after some advice. I have a 450litre tank and added 4 fancy male guppies, 6 female guppies and 6 cardinal tetras on Saturday. By Sunday morning 1 of the small male guppies tails was completely shredded. I have tested the water and all levels are fine. The tankmates are;

7 bleeding heart tetras
6 harlequins
2 penguin tetras
1 rainbow shark
1 plec
3 shrimp

I have moved the male guppy into a breeding net to make sure he doesn't get nipped any further and added a fin rot solution. Could someone please let me know who the likely culprit Is and what I can do to ensure this doesn't happen to all of the guppies?

Many thanks,

Emily

It could very well be the other male guppies. Do any of the other fish show signs of rot? Could be the shark as well.

What finrot solution? why did you add it? has your Guppy got finrot?

To cure finrot all you need is lots of clean water no mumbo jumbo magic potions needed.
