yea just the two now. I don't know about a 3rd guppie. Dave chased the other 2 that died as well, its not just Mickey. Maybe dave is just a bit of a bully.

he's just cranky since he wants to watch doctor who! really with guppys, you need 3 or more - otherwise the pecking order becomes a 1-sided bullying.. i'd get the 2 biggest male guppies the shop has.. take Dave out, rearrange the tank decor, then put the new guppies in before putting Dave in.. then maybe peace will reign in the guppy tank.

Gwenz

hmm ok. good idea. I'm not going to get ottos any more. I'll just do like you said get another 2 guppies and see what happenes.

K now theres 4 guppies in the 7.5gal. I've constructed this thing to put Mickey in to stop Dave chasing him and nipping while i treat him for finrot. http://www.fishlore.com/Forum/4-fres...e.new.html#new

I hope it will help him. He seems to like it in there. I've never seen him swim so much!

so.. you're saying it's good to get away from Dave.. is that it?

Gwenz

lol No! I will miss talking to you while im on holiday! My question now is tho, is it best to leave him in the new set up while im on holiday just to make sure he doesn't get nipped/chased or anything while im away?

Gwenz

COBettaCouple

lol.. but you'll have fun.

i'm not sure really.. it's going to be your judgement call on that. do you think he'll be happy in his netting and be able to get food from a holiday feeder in the netting (without the food falling out of it) or do you think he'd be better off fending for himself with the others?

tan.b

love the tanks gwenz!

Gwenz

Thanks tan!

Dave - My mum's friend is comming over now to feed them every 3 days i think she said she'd come. So she'll be able to put food in the net for him.

I think maybe I'll just leave him in the tank with theothers while im on holiday. Maybe he'll be more confident swimming around by then.

sounds excellent.. so now with that and no new episodes of the doctor while you're gone - you can relax and enjoy your holiday.

Gwenz

yep can't wait now! Should be so much fun! It's the heat that bothers me while im away.

Gwenz

COBettaCouple

but i thought it was always HOT and sunny there.

Gwenz

what at home or on holiday?

COBettaCouple

at home.

Gwenz

oh right......um its almost never hot and sunny here! lol

COBettaCouple

lol.. no way! next you'll be telling me that people there like peas to be mushy and tea to be hot.

Gwenz

Lol, but i don't like mushy peas. And you know what im like with hot chocolate!

Gwenz

COBettaCouple

lol.. don't go on holiday then! i think you have to say "I love mushy peas and hot tea" to get into the UK, don't you?
