I went for a 3-day vacation n came back just this morning..n the first thing i did when i entered my room was greet my fishies...n was just checking each one of them when suddenly i realized... my beautiful guppy...my pride and joy...was swimming around...with practically no tail!!! He's a blue and yellow leopard with a beautiful long tail..which of course is not existing anymore...
I'm so sad wonder who's the villain of the tank who did that to my poor poor Elvis..
Oh, also realized a little bit of my blue gourami's tail has been bitten off too..i think it's my johanni but i'm not sure...my tiger barbs are too small to cause any trouble.

Sigh...i don't think mixing the lake malawi cichlids and the other tropical fishes was a good idea.. )

Yep u should always check to see if your type of fish can go to gether because in the wild they wouldnt

Hi shaheen84

No, it really wasn't.

What are you going to do now?

I had some tiger barb....note HAD. You would be surprised the damage even little ones cause to beautiful fins. Sorry about your guppy

I know that tiger barbs are notorious fin nippers, especially if there aren't enough of them in the tank. I personally have problems with my gold gourami (which is just a color morph of a blue gourami). My gold gourami (Pippen) likes to chase after the other fish in the tanks that he is in. He had all the fish in my 55 gallon hiding in my plants because he would go after them anytime they were in the open!

Malawi's really arn't suited to a community tank

The tigers (as the name suggests) can be aggressive but in larger numbers tend to keep the bickering between themselves

You need to think about ammending your stock
