Hi Folks....
 
It started with a pregnant (I believe) guppy paying far too much attention to our orange seamed plec... then swimming off with and sucking in a championship length of poo - a streamer - a couple of inches....
 
This seems to have encouraged quite a crowd - with the rest of the guppies (4) joining in for a piece of the action!
 
Is this normal behaviour - I haven't noticed anything quite like it before.... I'm a bit concerned about the little guy - he's only a couple of inches long himself and I don't want those pesky guppies extracting anything they shouldn't!
 
Cheers and thanks - Andy
 
 
Yes - they're pulling it off him before it has a chance to come out.....
 
There's plenty of room in the tank by the way which is 30g with 2 male and 4 female guppies - 3 skunk corys and the plec.  The tank's also planted with plenty of hiding places....
 
The plec doesn't seem bothered but if I was him I'd be getting a bit fed up!
 
Beautiful picture by the way Lyra
