Due to very unfortunate spine issues with one of my female guppies which resulted in her death last week my surviving female has been left alone with the male. I bought another 2 females but they are still quite small in comparison and the male guppy is just chasing the original female round the...

I did exactly that a couple of weeks ago!! I took it out as my son wanted to change things around so I thought I would give the gravel a good clean and put it all back in again!! Didn't even give that a second thought �� Oh well, lesson learnt! Thanks as always
