nipping

Yesterday I bought 3 new Platys to join my one existing Platy in a 34 litre tank (all female). They seemed to get on fine for the first few hours, swimming together etc, but now one of the newbies is nipping at two of the other Platy. Interestingly, it is not nipping at the Platy that I think is...

Hi there! I went away on vacation for 2 days, my fish were fed by a trust worthy family friend. I come back to one of my tiger barbs fins nearly gone, the poor thing is swimming funny and struggling, but still swimming and trying to eat as well. I have 7 tiger barbs in total, some tetra too...

Hi,I have 4 glowfish tetras along with sum guppies in my 20gal I'm not sure which of them is doing the nipping, but ome of my tetras tails has been nipped so extremely, down to nubs and im concerned :( The other tetras have little to none damage to their fins. What do I do!!!

A fully cycled planted 100L tank with: 50+ cherry shrimp 1 betta 8 male guppies (I have way too many guppies as the first four female guppies I got actually had a male (in the tank at store) so from that I’ve now got too many guppies to count so when I could tell the males I’ve put them in a...

my neon tetras (10) have been nipping my betta to the point where he spends most of his time hiding and not coming out. He even blew out his fin flaring at them. They were both introduced last week to my twenty gallon which until now has just had corys. I’m wondering if I should move the tetras...

Hi, I have 4 platys, two male and 2 female (complete accident, just bought 4 and didn't realise the sex) the larger of the males has been nipping at the smaller younger male and causing quite a bit of damage, I know this is probably due to wanting to mate but Im just looking for a bit of advice...

So if you didn't know already... my betta's fins ended up being ripped because of other fish my dad bought. We returned them and he seems to be doing fine. However, I noticed after a few weeks what appears to be fin rot? What exactly should I do about it? Parameters are as follows: 10 gallon...

Hi all! I have a group of baby honduran red points that are growing up. Earlier this month the smallest of them showed a lot of damage to her tail, it was basically gone, so I removed her from her siblings into my least aggressive tank. Never saw her again and I believe she died and was eaten...

Ever since we added two serpae tetras, they have been very happy fish. However, we noticed that the smaller tetra (not THAT much smaller, maybe like a millimeter or two) started hiding a lot and began having trouble swimming. Many people online assumed that it might just be dying, however it’s...

Hi I have 8 green tiger barbs in a 150 litre tank, they are the only fish in the tank and it has been cycled. One of them, the largest, and I believe female (red nose), is relentlessly chasing the others. She'll chase one and then as soon as she loses it, chase another. All day long. There's...

Hello all, new here so first Hi! I ordered some fish online, arrived Friday and all looked in great health. I got them on ebay from a reputable seller. I bought a 'pair of rainbow dwarf gourami', expecting one male and one female. Today I noticed the smaller of the two has chunks out of its...

I bought a bicolor angelfish about 3 weeks ago, and it was placed in a 25-gallon tank with a damsel and 2 clowns. The bicolor angelfish is about 2 inches in length (approximately). For the most part, all of the fish have gotten along. This morning, though, the damsel was hiding under a rock and...

I noticed today that my red minor tetras were chasing my guppie around the tank but he swam away fine. Then I left the house for a couple hours when I got home my guppie was tangled hiding in the fake plants because he could not swim. His tail was nipped up and split in one spot. I placed him in...

Hi there. I have a school of 9 neon tetras in a 70l cycled aquarium - 5 of them have been in there for 2 months, the other 4 have been in about 2 weeks less than that as the LFS hadnt QT'd them when i went the first time. One of the original 5 has been obviously very domineering and chasing the...
