Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	My 30g has an angel, krib pair, guppies, black phantoms and bottom feeders. No new additions for quite a while. Today I noticed my male guppies tails are almost half missing Who is the guilty fish and why would this start happening suddenly? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

iltat Mega Fish Posts: 1076 Kudos: 1216 Votes: 0 Registered: 14-Oct-2002	I've seen some angels destroy some Black widow Tetras' fins before, so I'd assume that the angels are the guilty party... PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.

amilner Big Fish Posts: 429 Kudos: 654 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jul-2004	Definately the cichlids. I'd suggest angels first as the kribs will generally chase other fish if they're breeding, but seldom harass them if they swim to the upper layers... Angels aren't so 'fussy' about where they harass fish.
