Help - My Guppy has been attacked!!!!
Please help - I added a couple of male guppies to my community tank three days (full list of inhabitants below) - the LFS said they would be fine, but when I got home yesterday, one of them had been virtually eaten and the other poor lad has had parts of his fins removed and looks like he's taken a battering. I've put him temporarily in another small tank wothout a filter, using water out of the main tank, and amazingly he's still alive.
What should I do? Go buy another tank? Will his fins grow back??? If I buy another tank does it need lighting, heating and filter etc?
I'm so distressed and dont trust the LFS advice anymore
