Anyone on here have any experience with an agressive female swordtail? I have a female that chases all the other female swordtails around the tank! I keep finding dead female swordtails in my tank with holes in them and I think she's attacking them! :-( Everything I've read about them says their not agressive but I'm beginning to believe otherwise!! I know she has to be the culprit because nothing else in my tank would do this. Should I remove her? So far in the last 3 months or so she's killed at least 4 other swordtails including my male!! I don't really have a tank to move her to except my juvi cichlid tank and I know eventually when they get bigger ( all 3 inches or smaller now) they will probably eat her!! Any suggestions are appreciated!!!
