Aquarium Advice Regular
I have a 20gal F/W set up over a month now.. 7 zebra danios , 4 painted tetras and 3 guppies(1f/2m) all doing great.. I added a male Betta and a female..They were doing great for about 5 days. I noticed the male Betta was hiding for about 2 days I would make him come out to eat and he would go right back into hiding.. My female liked the rocks but would often come out..Last night I was feeding them and a female guppy floated by with NO FINS anywhere 8O A male guppy had a big bite out of his tail and the Betta had most of his fins shredded .Today the male Betta died and the male guppy had more bitten out of his fins and also died.. I noticed the zebra danios where ganging up and chasing the Betta and the guppy (before they died) trying to bite at them and basically tormenting them,,(I was thinking because they where showing signs of distress) so I took them out put them in a tank I had water setting up for the big tank and within 5 mins all where DEAD ..I took the female Betta out put her in a tiny tank and she's fine..Was she the one doing in the fins? or was it the zebra's? The fish that are left are doing great..(one male guppy and 4 painted tetra's out all those fish..
What happened. .It's so sad. I take such care in adding the fish and making sure they have the best food, a good place to hide it they need and I end up killing most of them..and the other died from injuries..My tank is become a death watch.. I want to put the female Betta back in the tank.. But I'm afraid she was the one but all I read she won't be inclined to do that....Please help.
