Is That It For Guppies?

[homerhotspur]

Added 2 male Guppies 2 weeks ago. All was well for a week. Then last weekend, we found a dead long finned Zebra Danio with no apparent cause. . We had 5 Danios and this was the only long finned one. The next day, we found that one Danio in particular was harrassing the more brightly coloured Guppy all the time and it had virtually gone into hiding as everytime it appeared, it was chased around.

A few hours later, we found the Guppy dead.

It now seems that the ' rogue' Danio may well also have been responsible for the original fatality. So we now have one lone Guppy who is now also being chased around, although not so much at the moment. Would be nice to give him some company, but this would not seem wise.

Any suggestions?

either take the nasty bugger back to the lfs or if your tank can home enough fish then get at least 5 guppys - fully grown if pos.

Don't think danio and guppys mix myself.
I would issolate the guppy and see if the lfs will swap it for more danio's if your tank not overstocked.

take him outback and tie him to a tree. Then give him both barrels
