I bought a yellow guppy (male) a few weeks ago, and put him in with my male Endlers. He was constantly harassed, and reading other forums made me think that was possibly because he was bigger, and the Endlers were mistaking him for a female. So I bought a couple more guppies, this time with 'flame' tails, hoping that would distract the Endlers, but instead all the guppies and Endlers now take turns to chase the yellow one!
He doesn't seem overly distressed, still manages to eat and doesn't hide from the others, but it still seems a shame. Does anyone have any other ideas about how to give him some peace? Is it his colour, or do some fish just have an invisible 'kick me' sign pinned to their fins? I could get another yellow guppy if people think that would help.
All opinions welcome, I'm still very new to fish keeping!
