platy with worms?

That's fine, good luck, and fingers crossed.
 
Bad sign this morning, I'm afraid. Caught the male young guppy repeatedly attacking Smudge. She is about 5 times his size but seemed unable to defend herself.
Haven't got a spare hospital tank for her, so ended up isolating her in a breeding net, at least it's a fairly good size and she is safe. Put a plant in to reassure her.
Oh dear, this means there is at least one occupant of the tank who thinks she is dying.... :(
We're going camping this afternoon until tomorrow, I'm afraid I'll find her dead in the tank when we get back. And then the others will start dying....
Can't think what else I could have done though. I had no idea that tiny thing would go for her, the adult female guppies have seemed friendly enough.
At the moment she doesn't seem too bad, she put up a good fight when I came with the net and is exploring her new home quite calmly. She is upright in the water and feding; I thought I'd better give them all a bit to eat to calm them down after all the excitement (not something I'd usually do); in particular, young Sunny the guppy looked as if he needed something to do with all his new-found aggression.
Wish I had some Melafix or something to put in the water.
 
Yourv'e done the right thing, fingers crossed.
