Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Zebra Question

Hello everyone, along with my other fish i have 6 Zebra Danios all pretty small. i have noticed for like 3 days now that 4 of them have their rear fins nipped some to the point that they have none. I think the nipping is being done by 2 bigger ones specially a bigger male that has all his fins nice and intact. What can i do move them all to the 5 gal QT or just the 2 males? oh also do fish know when they're full? lol silly to say but my Black Mollies (specially the female) and the Red Eye Tetras eat A LOT! i feed them once a day in large amounts and even when the food sinks they scavenge the ground like corys, is this normal should i start feeding 2 times a day in smaller amounts?
Thanks again

I would move the two trouble makers. Of course with only those 2 together, you may have problems in the QT tank as well.

You might want to change your feeding schedule to several smaller feeding during the day... it sometimes helps with nipping problems.
