Hi, I recently started a tank. It is cycled and I used seed material from my friends long established tank, my numbers are: Ammonia- 0, Nitrite- 0, Nitrate- 10(API master kit). Temp- constant 78F, 4 fake plants, 2 decorations to hide in.
I just added a 2 guppies to my 20 gallon that already contain 5 zebra danios, and 1 sunburst platy. The zebras are chasing and seem to be nipping one of the guppies! They are being extremely agressive and I'm afraid they're going to possibly kill the guppy or stress it out really bad. Do they normally do this to new additions? Will it wear off? I know they do better in larger schools and will get more if I have to, but I'm afraid of the agression continuing even with larger numbers. They do not bother my platy at all. Thanks for the help!
