Hi everyone...
I started a fishless cycle back in January, had fish in the tank in mid March, so it's a pretty new set up still.
My tank is an 18x10x10" 30L tank, with Fluval U1 filter and Fluval E50 heater..
Parameters are normally 0, 0, 10-30, for ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates
Stocked with 3 male guppies, and 1 Zebra nerite.
Now for the first few weeks everything was happy and the guppies all got along fine...
Recently however the largest guppy started bullying the smallest, chasing and nipping etc... Now the small ones tail is in shreads and he's taken to hiding at all times... I found he'd jammed himself in between the glass and the back on my filter the other day
I feed them a mix of Tetra Prima, Tetra Colour Pro, Tetra flakes, or sinking algae wafers some times, as well as the occasional lump of fresh veg etc...
Now I'm worried he won't feed properly with the big bully and he'll just get weaker and weaker...
What do guys?
