ya know, I went home last night and stared at my guppy tank for awhile - to see if I was seeing any kind of female/female aggression.

I can't say I saw any. Just lots of guppies swimming madly about because they thought they were getting fed! LOL

What size tank do you have your guppies? Do you have enough plants about (I find plants are great shields that partition off territories)

yep, leave it to me to have tempermental guppies. since the male has been gone, it seems worse. very strange. well, i have 2 now, in a 10 gal and they could use more plants. right now, i have some hanging suction cupped plant int here meant for terrariums that really does give a lot of cover for a plastic plant. not enough though.

i say i am down to 2 guppies b/c i got sick to death of my angel aggression and placed the beast in with the guppies. it has me so p-o'd and so do the guppies...fend for yourselves i thought- if angel gets sick so be it. if little guppies get eaten or ms. orange gets harassed, so be it. wrong for me to be that way, but i am being honest. honestly, i am surprised the angel didn't choke on that month old guppy (that didn't bother anybody except the 2 day old one). unfortunately, ms. half black is now seriously hiding, but sometimes my movement freaks her out. other times, she goes nuts begging for food. i just never know how they will react.

2 angels and 3 cories in the other 10 gallon was just way too many. that beast was non stop in the 25 and would be non stop in a 75, i am sure of it. it was the healthies of the two angels, and now it looks like it has issues which i believe either existed while in the other 10, or resulted from my netting it. i don't know about plants in my guppy tank working, but i know it didn't deter that angel. all the plants i had in the 25 went into the 10 but it still managed to beat my other angel into the ground. the barracuda.

oops, so we were talking about guppies! ms. orange finds her no matter where she is sometimes. why? b/c she follows her around constantly. she used to just follow. without the male, she has taken to being very physical. i have never seen such aggression in a guppy, but i am not experienced with them, either. i must say, the angel kept her distracted it was freaked out from the move. they both came in to check it out but not too closely :)

Dude! separate the females! Get the angel out of there and by herself! Or put the two mean ones together and let them fight it out(j/k) The poor black one is traumatized! Get her alone and back into shape and then reintroduce them! it might work.I had thet problem with my two females but the mean one died in labor and the shy one is the mother of 15. The shy blue one just kept away from the mean one and her male. Hey, you should get a male!

thanks for your input! unfortunately, i have still been unable to replace my larger tank and get everyone back to their own abodes.

also, the females seem to have adjusted, they are out swimming even with the angel. and, too many fish and nowhere to quariantine a male guppy
