Bully Guppy

[Helen G]

Have a little problem.

One of my pregnant female guppies is constantly trying to attack the male guppy. She darts at him all the time. He is ok, no visible signs of being nipped, but I'm worried he is getting stressed.

I know pregnant women are a bit temperemental, but I think she is going to kill him. Why is she doing this? What can I do to help?

Wow I haven't been on here for a loooong time! lol

I'm assuming they are in the same tank together? Is there a way you can seperate them from each other by placing them into another tank?

If you can't place them in seperate tanks, add some plants and some hiding places for the male guppy to go into...

That's all I can think of right now. Hopefully someone on here can direct you as to what to do...

Is she ready to give birth as they can get really aggressive when there about to give birth.
