Help Agressive Femaile Guppy

I had 3 guppies 2 male 1 female, but she killed one. Now she is attacking the other one, but the male keeps following her (wanting to get attacked?). What do i do?

When did you get them? How big is your tank? I would try to put her in her own separate tank until you can find her a new home. Don't stress her too much though.

Did you try doing a water change and switching around the decorations of the tank, this helps reinstate the guppy's home and removes from territorial behavior. If that does not work then see if you can switch her at your LFS for a different female.

the male is following her because he want's to mate with her. If you are serious about keeping guppies then you will either have to keep all males or all females or if you want mixed sexes you will have to have them at 1 male to 3 female.
