The guppy kept biting the goldfish, probably because the goldfish was sick. Because guppies are smaller and goldfish are larger, peacocks generally do not attack goldfish. But the goldfish appears to lie down in the tank, lose the swim bladder or parasitic infection, the guppy will come to bite the tail of the goldfish until the tail of the goldfish is broken. Therefore, when raising goldfish and guppies together, breeders should pay attention to the isolation of sick goldfish and the number of guppies should not be too large.
1. Why do guppies bite goldfish
? Generally speaking, guppies will not bite goldfish, because they are small and gentle, and they will not attack other fish under normal circumstances. If the guppy bites the goldfish, it may be that the goldfish is sick. For example, it is common to lie in the tank, parasites, enteritis, impotence and so on, which can lead to the weakening of goldfish's constitution and the cessation of activities. At this time, the guppy will bite the tail of the goldfish until the tail of the goldfish rots. When keeping goldfish and guppies together, breeders need to isolate sick goldfish in time, or artificially control the number of guppies, so as to avoid this situation. Guppies are
not recommended to be raised with goldfish, because the size difference between them is too big. Guppies are small fish, mostly 6 centimeters in length, while goldfish are 20-30 centimeters in length. If the space is not enough, goldfish are likely to eat guppies. Additional, goldfish is coldwater fish, guppy is tropical fish, the habit that two kinds of fish live is different, still do not suggest to mix breed together. In addition, the metabolism of goldfish is relatively fast, which can easily pollute the water quality, but the frequent change of water for guppies will affect their normal development.
