Of my current stock, the group that was here from the start consits of a female Balloon Molly, a Male Sunrise Guppy, and a Female Red Wag.
Now, the Red Wag has always been passive, so lets skip her.
For a while it seemed as though the Guppy would nip at the Molly, her sides or something. Nothing big came of this until today (my tank is about...3 weeks to a month old).
Today I watched as my Balloon Molly raced for my Guppy until he darted off. If he would get close to her, she'd go after him.
Now, I've got the guppy in a breeding trap (small size, he's got a bit of room), because I don't know what's going on. Is this normal? I'm afraid she's going to rip up his tail, and considering I'm giving him to my sister for a classroom tank, it'd be nice to give her a happy and healthy fish.
The changes have been a live plant, two fakes, a new decoration, air stone, and some rearrangement. I just noticed this agressive behavior when I slipped in a small bit of frozen brine shrimp and some fish flakes (since the Juvies hogged all the brine shrimp...)
I'm a tad panicky, but not feeling as bad since one of them is conatined
Any ideas on what's wrong?
