I got that female guppy that I've raised from fry and now, she's with all the others and she was ok but this morning, I looked at her and on her left side just behind the fin, she got a huge piece of skin missing... she also have been severly fin nipped on the tail and the anal fin... (maybee the males ?)... Is there something I could do to save her ? and why it's happenning now ? she never had any problems with the others... :(

I think I'll drop all the livebreeders/tetra and I'll go with cichlids....

Separate her? Move her to another tank? Fish can be relentless once they decide to "oust" a tank mate.

I tried to isolate her using a breeding separator... but she's now laying on the side on the bothom... she's giving a fin move once in a while... but I don't think she'll make it :( but oh well... I've notice she has started to bleed on the side... so, there's probably not much I can do...

If she's not moving much, she's most likely a goner, sorry to hear it.

Might unfortunately want to consider euthanization to ease her pain.

She passed away already... no need to do an euthanization .... :(

and I could take a picture of the bad bloody side of her :( Beside tank mate attack... could it be something else ?
