Fish Crazy
I noticed some fin loss on some of my Neons in the tank
The stock WAS:
5 Neons
4 Emporer Tetras
2 Guppies
30 gallon tank
Now I added 3 neons earlier this week. They were all in perfect shape.
Then I noticed some loss on the fins on a few of them and was wondering what was going on. I sat and watched and found out who it was. It was one of the guppies who was literally chasing them around ( one in particular ) and nipping the fins.
Needless to say, the one that the guppie was hard up on perished last night. Now hes working on the other ones. He does not seem to be much interested in the Emperors for some reason...mostly because I think they fight back...
So, I need to correct this problem and do it fast. Neons are touchy.
Here are the options:
72 gallon. I have 8 Dinoes ( mix longfin and zerbra ), 2 Emerald Corries, 2 Julii Catfish, 4 Pristella Tetras, and 2 Clown Loach in that tank. I fear if I put him in there that he will work on the corries in there.
55 gallon: 3 White Cloud, 8 Rosbora Het, and 6 Red Phantom Tetra in that one. Now the Rosbora and the Phantoms are extreamly shy fish in that tank for some reason... I am not sure why... then again I dont think they would like a aggressive fish in there either.
10 gallon: 5 Gold Pristella Tetra in that... pretty much stocked for that tank.
Now I do have a strange shaped tank that has to be around 20 gallons and another 55 gallon tank. Both are not set up, nor do I know if they leak or not because I just got them.
So what to do?
