So my guppy kept clamping his tail fin yesterday. I got worried and immediately started testing the water. My results were 0 ammonia 0 nitrite and about 40 ppm of nitrate. I immediately did a 50% water change because of nitrate being that high. ( usually keep it about 10-20 ppm). They all seemed happier afterwards. This morning I noticed he was clamping his fin again. I also noticed it was when one of my other guppies kept coming near him. I removed the problem guppy and now my other one seems happier and to be swimming around a lot more. Is this abnormal thing? They've been in the tank together and the aggression started out of nowhere with my cobra guppy. I also have 3 Marimo moss balls two seem to be doing great but one ( which I got from a different location) is turning white. Why is this? Should I remove it? Please any help will be greatly appreciated.
