Small Guppy Problem

[zarebskifish]

hello my guppy has recently become tired and run down and spends most of its time
at the bottom of the tank or underneath the bogwood
this is a problem because the oter guppys keep nipping at its body and fins
ive caught it in a net that is raised a bit out of the water the net is 6inches
is got enough room but can i treat this behaviour

thanks

o and its also quite pregnant

what are the water stats?
Did you cycle your tank?
How many fish and which (include guppy sexes) are in the tank?
How many gallons is the tank?

the water stats are good i cyphon reguraly every 5 days
the tank is 2/3 cycled before i added the fish
i have 2 male guppies and 4 females in a 54l tank 11g uk 8g us

i have a rio 180 up stairs which i could cut them filters to go in the 60l tank
it would be fully mature
would that be ok

I'm really sorry about that I had a fish that acted kind of like that. He rested on the bottom and rarely moved. The only time he came up was to eat, but that was only a little then he swam back down. A few days later he couldn't even swim and if he stried, he would swim around in circles on his side. He was obviously very sick and in pain, so I flushed him
I kept an eye out on the other fish and they did fine. I suggest the same thing for you. Just watch them for a while so none of the others get sick. If that's even what it was. Again, I'm really sorry about your pore fishie
