Guppy being a bully to tetras

My male guppy chases my neon tetras during feeding doesn't nip but just chases the neons away from falling food than doesn't eat it I'm thinking its because I have 2 male guppys and no females but idk this behavior only happens during feeding time

also what is the best type of food for a 75 gallon community tank fish include

2 angels Male Male
2 mollies Male Female
2 guppys both male
5 neon tetras
2 peppered corys
1 weather loach
2 swordtails male female

 

I think the feeding thing is pretty common for fish. I have seen fish do that to eachother... just chase others away from food that they don't eat. I'm not sure if the tetras are still gettting food but if they start looking thin or acting unhealthy you may have to find some way of fixing that by removing the guppies or something. Also, since you have a 75 gallon tank and a few more neons wouldn't hurt I am sure they would feel more comfortable if you made their school bigger... maybe 8 or 10 fish or even more if you wanted and had the room. For food I like NLS pellets but they might be too small for the angels and molleys although I'm not sure. For the cories I would also up the school a bit and algae tabs and shrimp pellet are good for them.

 

I can't see adding a few neons to a 75 gallon tank would effect the bio load much at all. Even with the stocking list you have adding 3 or 4 neons wouldn't hurt it much.

 

The beneficial bacteria is one of the slowest growing groups in the bacteria world. The colony can double in size in a day. Because of that, you can just about safely double the bioload without causing a problem. HOWEVER, there are conditions to consider - first and foremost is if the filtration system can accommodate the larger colony. If the filter is already running at more that 50% capacity, then doubling the biolad will leave the tank in deficit (constant ammonia). So at the end of the day, the more fish you have in the tank, the more fish you can add at a time.


Stocking - neons in a 75 - you should have at least 20 of them. Weather loaches are highly social fish, so adding a few more is in order. In a 75, you ought to have at least 10 corys.

Food - NLS thera-A. With the fish you have, I would get 3 different sizes. 1 mm for the smaller fish and 2 mm for the larger. Then I would get the growth formula (0.5 mm) for the fry you will have.

 

yes more tetras and corys are going to be on the way my LFS is getting new stock tomorow and I was going to get some also got 2 more weather loaches and they are all together

I just looked at your angel tank and what kind of gouramis were they and could I add them to my tank because I have heard that they are aggressive

 

I would quarantine all the fish you get if possible if you don't already because with that many fish there is a good chance you could get something.

I have two types of Gourami in my Angle tank, the larger are called blue or 3 spot and the other are honey. I have had them together for almost two year without any problems between them. Not to say that the Gourami get along with each other all the time but they don’t ever bother the Angle fish. The Honey are always peaceful even with each other but the three spot chase each other a lot but have never done any harm to each other. There are two females and one male of each type. The tank you looked at is my 125 gallon so there is lots of room for everyone to spread out. A 75 gallon would be able to handle maybe a pair of them but I wouldn’t get two of the same sex.
