Guppy Probelm

[Sasha]

I noticed my female guppy, Flora, has a few little rips on her fins. One is on her back fin and two are on the upper part of her tail. It's not fin rot because there is not white stuff on the edges, it only looks like another fish ripped her fins. There are shaped like wedges and angle inward like an arrow. I don't know what to do about her fins?

Also, Floara is pregnant (she looks like she's about to explode!) and she's acting a little aggressive toward her tankmates. She particularly chases my female swordtail and I'm a little worried about that. Any advice about her ripped fin or her aggressive behaviour?

(If I have to move her, I have a small tank available.)

I would isolate her in her own tank. Try to make it at least 5 gallons so that she can have enough room for her babies too. I had a very aggressive female guppy that would chase the other female livebearers around the tank. She was fine with males but terrible with females. Isolation would probably help with the ripped fins too, by giving her time to heal.

Maybe hes gaurding the eggs.

Flora goes after the female swordtail like she's protecting her unborn fry! I better seperate them soon since Flora's about to burst!
