female fin nipping none stop

[bubleguppy_2013]

Yesterday I had boughten some new guppies for my tank.I waited the 15 min in the water and when I let the new ones in. I expected the domination war of nips but most of them stoppd besides 2 of my females which aren't new to the tank. They're doing it to all of the new fish but none of my males did it to each other.I took my two males that had been nipped at baddly and set them aside. They'd hide in the plants from the 2 smallest females that wouldn't stop nipping.

What else should I do??

You'll want to relocate them or return them, because guppies should be introduced the same time.

I respectfully disagree. I've added many species of small schooling fish at different times and never experienced anything beyond the most minor hierarchy argument.

You can try moving your decor around. This makes all the fish think they're in a new tank and usually helps stop the bickering.

Thanks guy!
And I have found a friend to relocate them to with a bigger tank and has taken care of them before.
I'm just gunna stick with all males in my 10 gal. Is that a good idea since there won't be any female??

I have all males in my 46 community and they're fine with each other.
