Can someone help ASAP!!!

I've got 4 guppys and 3 of them have constantly ganged up on one of them for 2 days straight and I don't want it to give up and die what should I do? They are males and I have 2 females in there.

Sounds like you have 3 males and one female, you'll need to switch that ratio right around

It's a shame the man who sold me the fish didn't inform me of this

Yup, I +1 Brookster then. That would be a female!

 

[jblkfishfantasy]

But it's the male getting bullied nothing to do with the females?

I'm not positive but I thought males had the longer tails and finnage, maybe im wrong and you have 3 psycho females and one sorry male..

You said you have 4 guppies, but the 3 in the picture look to be males. So you have 3 males & 1 female. It's supposed to be the other way around, 3 females 1 male, etc.

 

[Hoffman]

Females are usually the bigger ones, and sometimes when you got that behaviour it's the males chasing the girls

I agree- you need to add more females or trade 2 males for females

I only see three males in that picture, no females.

They could be fighting over a female?

 

[jblkfishfantasy]

Yes the 3 males were picking on the other male (which happened to be the biggest male) so I took the 2 main bully's back and now have 2 females and 2 males and they are all fine now

The females weren't involved in the fighting at all, sorry for the mix up

Good good. Some males are super aggressive others aren't. My lyre tail doesn't even act like a male half the time.
