Context: Iāve had a really rough few months, my mum fell on 19th December and broke her pelvis, she had quite advanced dementia, sheās been in hospital and then moved to a nursing home where she died very unexpectedly 3 weeks ago. My dad is elderly and Iām doing all the paperwork and organising for the funeral next week.
The issue, my tanks have been no-where near a top priority for the above reasons, and I lost 14/15 guppies which is totally my fault through neglecting water changes etc.
Over the last 7 days, Iāve got a bit more on top of things, cleaned the tank thoroughly, changed about 80% of the water and my ammonia and nitrite were zero, so I bought 6 more guppiesā¦
Since yesterday afternoon (when the new fish were added) the original guppy has done nothing but chase the new ones, and he looks like heās nipping at tailsā¦ there have been a couple of instances of him being ānose-to-noseā with another guppy and they have been going round in circles.
Iām almost in tears again, I thought heād be happy with some more friends, but this doesnāt seem to be the case - will he settle down or is it likely to have an unhappy ending..?
