Hi
New to this forum - this is my first post - but I could do with some help!
Last week I added 2 moonlight gouramis to my 55-gallon community tank. Everything has been fine up till now and they seemed to have settled in well, but this afternoon they have been attacking a guppy and have made a real mess of its tail. It's obviously distressed and they're still going at it. The danios have also got in on the act and there seems to be a bit of a frenzy going on in there.
What can I do? I don't have another tank to remove them to. Is this sort of agression usual, and can it stem from any particular cause? Now they have done it once, and if they kill the guppy, will they do it again to other fish? It was a real surprise as everything seemed happy. It's quite distressing for me too.
I'd be grateful for any help!
Thanks
