I would, out of those fish, suspect the danios or the other guppies.

Both those species can be aggressive little blighters, if not in large enough groups. It could even be the head/tail tetras or the neons, although they're not known as nippy fish.

Have you tested the water to rule out any other issues? How big is your tank? As all the shoalers really need to be in groups of at least six, preferably ten individuals, or you will have these sorts of problems.

omg thank you for helpin the guppies are for breeding the neons arent i know that for sure because they are a bit scared atm and the danios are really active but only chase each other and the only other guppies are female and ones actually pregers so head and tail lights then how will i get rid of them

 

[Blobfish]

Out of curiousity, why do you think the guppy was killed by one of the other fish rather than from natural causes, disease etc?

 

[Doomchibi]

I would like to know as well, did you find the fish dead with marks or injuries on it? Was it recently diseased? It is possible it died from natural causes and if not noticed immediately your other fish may have tried to eat the remains, making it look like it was attacked. It seems unlikely that your other fish would outright kill one of your guppies, more likely rough it up though I am not saying it is impossible. Do any of your other guppies seem bitten up or otherwise injured? Also, make sure your tank is big enough for your current fish otherwise your fish being cramped and territorial now may cause other injuries, and the fry will only cramp the tank further if this is the case.

Sounds like youre responsible.. Who put the fish in the tank?

 

[guppyguy1234]

ok so no it was not natural causes and no it was not being eacten i know it was killed by another fish because its taill was torn to shreds and i had it in a breeder net to keep it away from the other fish it was alive when i put it in so it died in there i put the the fish no other guppies are nipped or injured as they are also females plus pregnant it was not my fault the fish died i would never ever noingly put a fish in danger and no my tank is not over crowded as it is 96ltrs and 2 1/2 foot long with small tetras mostly.

I'm afraid to say your tank is overstocked

 

[guppyguy1234]

i have been telling my lfs everything about my tank and videos of it he sold me my tank and my fish plus he noes what he is talking about hes assured me the tank is NOT overstocked

I have to agree with Fluttermoth, you are overstocked.
Lfs are there to make money, they will tell you everything is fine so they can sell you something & when you say you have a problem they will sell you something to 'cure' it.
I've yet to hear any Lfs owner or staff tell someone they're overstocked & need to bring fish back

 

[guppyguy1234]

i no this guy he wouldnt even sell me a ram with out testin my water first

 

[Wildbetta]

I really hate to disagree with you but your tank is over stocked by quite a bit and your fish are not in the correct amounts for each type.  

 

[Doomchibi]

He may have learned incorrectly too and since no one has told him any differently he assumed everything was good. I have had very well meaning people tell me things before about pets and I took their word for it for the longest time until I found out I was wrong. I honestly suggest you upgrade to a larger tank to keep all your fish, since they are cramped and likely stressed now and when your guppies give birth things are going to get worse for them. I am sorry about the loss of your guppy, but honestly none of your fish are to blame seeing as they are stressed right now. 

 

[guppyguy1234]

how are they not in correct numbers

 

[eaglesaquarium]

Long story short, shoaling species should be in groups of at least 6 each, some sources would say 8-10+:
 

2 corys peppered - would need at least 4 more
2 flying fox fish - recommended should only be kept singly, unless in a very large tank with lots of cover - and a single flying fox is recommended for nothing smaller than a 4 foot tank
2 guppies LEFT from 3
3 harlequin rasboras - would need at least 3 more
4 danios zebra - would need at least 2 more
4 head and tail light tetras - would need at least 2 more
10 neons jumbo was 11 it got tail eaten
6 rummy nose tetras

 
Reference for each recommendation is provided with a link.  You can feel free to check other sources online as well, they will say roughly the same thing.
 
 
And a 96L tank is just not nearly sufficient for this number of fish, let alone what would be required for all the additions.
 
 
Please understand that I do not want to make you feel bad or to start an argument with you.  But, you have started quite a few threads about having trouble with your fish... a major contributor for the trouble you are having is that you have too many fish overall, and not enough of each specie in your tank.  When the fish feel threatened, they can act abnormally to their normal temperment, or it can heighten the worst of their nature.  Shoaling species are not comfortable when kept with too few members of their own specie.  All fish feel less comfortable when they are forced to be in too tight a space and don't have room to spread out.  All fish appreciate some sort of 'cover' for them to hide in/among if they so choose.
