i have three swordtails that are male two of them are acting very angry and bullying the third swordtail they are not letting this poor fish come out of his corner if he does he gets whacked, any ideas? he has just recently got a fungus on top of his back i guess this is because he is severly stressed?
 
How many females do you have? Livebearers usually will stop fighting if kept in the ratio 1 male: 2 or 3 females.
 
i have three of each which was probably a bad idea.
:what: :what: :what: :what:
 
3 males and 3 females ? Not the best ratio :)

Is there any chance your tank is big enough for 3 more females ?or can you get rid of one of your males ?
 
a fungus on top of his back
This fungus is most likely Flex. Needs to be taken care of NOW. Very nasty and has the potential to kill everything and everyone in your tank if you let it go. I want you to read this article on flex. Any questions just ask K. Rose
 
the fungus on his back is only small at the moment but i can tell you he hides away alot and has lost quite a bit of weight and i havent seen him eat for a while. :what: :what:

the temperature of the tank is 78 degrees. oh my god!!!!!!
