Fin Nipping!

[Harlequins]

Hi all

Today i bought 3 male golden guppy endlers and all 3 are terrorising the 4 platys and 6 harlequins i have,nipping at all the fish especially the platys and their fins,is there anything i can do,or will they hopefully settle down?

They might settle but if not take them back or swap 2 males for 2 females which will keep the 1 male occupied, that;s if you want to breed.

I initially took 3 males has i didnt want them to breed,but also they didn't have any female endlers,only female guppies,i didn't really want to have hybrids,
They are still attacking the other fish!

I have now taken these back to lfs

Probably for the best Are your platys all one sex or are you planning to breed them?
