	HELP!
gen7164 Small Fry Posts: 5 Kudos: 3 Votes: 0 Registered: 04-Sep-2004	After my female guppy gave birth I put her into a tank by herself to give the babies some space. BUT- I figured she'd be lonely so I went out and bought her a friend (another female guppy). After I put them together I noticed that my mommy guppy is really picking on the other one- chasing her around and stuff like that. Is this normal or should I separate them??? I thought guppies were non-aggressive? Please help me because I do not want to lost my new guppy. Thanks- Gen BTW my tank is a 1-2 gallon

One some fish need to have "buddies" and those are the schooling and shoaling fish (tetras, barbs, cories, rainbows, etc). Many fish, guppies included, are fine on their own.
