Why is my guppy doing this?

  • #1
I have a four male guppy’s in a ten gallon tank, I noticed after adding the other two guppy, that my black male guppy is backing up and shaking his tail at the other guppies. Especially the red one. Is this dominance? I’ve also noticed that the “red” guppy has a split tail as long as a ragged is bit. Should I be concerned is it just dominance.

It's a sort I'd showing off move primarily for the ladies, but they'll for each other if there's no females around.

Just keep your water nice and clean and let it heal. Tears just happen sometimes and often heal fairly quickly so there isn't some aggravating factor.
