    Ok so I have a 80ltr tank with

    2 Guppies ( m)
    4 Platies
    3 Bronze Corys
    5 Neon Tetra
    1 Ballon Molly
    3 Assassin Snails ( and about 50 tiny snails that somehow got into my tank )

    Anyway one of my gupies had a fantastic tail but today I noticed it is in bits, literally niped in half and the poor thing does not look well

    My question is 2 fold

    1) Should I leave Guppy in tank ( I have no other spare tank ) or since he looks so stressed should I put him out of his misery

    2) Which fish could have did this as they all are community fish, Is it possible it was a platy as I believe one is pregnant ( not 100% ) and it seems more aggresive then normal , would this be a sign of pregnacy.

    I'd treat with esha 2000 to avoid the tail getting infected and see how you go. I've had guppies recover from having their tails nipped before.
