I have always had troubles keeping Guppies in my tank, ever since I started my first one over two years ago. Whenever I took any to the tank, they've been dead after few months, sometimes even weeks. Only recently I talked with "my fish store" lady and she told me about one of her customers having the same problem with his Cardinal Tetras-- in his case it turned out to be Red Tailed Shark chasing them and biting them to death.
I also have a Red Tailed Shark, so the question arises - may it be the reason that I can't have any Guppies? On top of it all - my latest Guppie died few days ago, and today I've found one of my Cardinals dead as well, even though they have been in the tank for ages now (well, several months, but still...)
The thing is, I have never seen my Sharkie chasing any Guppies nor Tetras, but I can't see what's going on in the tank during night or the day when I'm at work.
Would that be the time for me to part with my Sharkie for the sake of all the other fishes?
