guppies tail being eaten !

one of my guppies is having its tail eaten and its getting worse every day, i haven't seen any of my fish doing it and i belive its happening at night. its 1 of 4 male guppies in the tank (see profile for list of fish, tank size ect) and is the only fish being nibbbled on, what can i do ? i dont want him to die. i think he would be fine if he just gets abit of time to recoupe..

cheers Phil.

it could be any of those fish with him minus the otto..I dont think he would bother him...I agree with willis..put him in a breeder net to let him recoup..anytime a fish is sick, others will know t hat and continue to pick on him .....prestine water and some stress coat+ will heal him up as long as he isnt kept in the tank ...

Im pretty sure it would be the dwarf gourami, when they get bigger they can nip on long finned fish.
