of other fish. Guppies are very territorial fish. If the tank in which it is fed is small and there are many farmed fish, guppies will bite other fish in order to protect their territory, and it is also common to bite their tails. The best way to raise guppies is to choose a slightly larger tank, and the feeding density should not be too large, so that there will be fewer tail-biting incidents.
During mating, guppies also fight over mates, and tail biting is not uncommon. When choosing the parent fish, we should control the number, choose more female fish, the ratio of male and female parent fish is 4:1, so that the male fish will not compete for the female fish, and the incidents of fighting and biting the tail will occur less. In addition, if other fish are sick, they may also bully the sick fish and bite its tail. Therefore, the diseased fish should be isolated in time.
after being bitten off? The guppy tail will grow back after being bitten off. If the environment is better, it only takes 1-3 months for its tail to grow out. When the tail of the guppy is bitten off, the wound should be treated immediately and disinfected in time. Then they should be kept in isolation and the water temperature and quality should be controlled. You can sprinkle a little potassium permanganate in the water to diminish inflammation, which can speed up the healing of the wound. After a while, their tails can grow back.
