Fin Nipping Xenotoca eiseni (Red Tailed Goodeid)

[rbradbury]

I had my Xenotoca eiseni (Red Tailed Goodeid) breeding group in a 20g tank that just had Endlers in with them. I moved the Goodeids to my 90g planted tank that has other community fish. Well I've noticed that my guppies are showing signs of their fins getting nipped. Any way I can stop this behavior?

move the goodied out, they do well in an only-species tank

Thoses goodieds are like tiger barbs in the fact that they just love to nip fins. I would have to agree with tony that I would set them up in a tank by themselves. Even when I had the, in their own tank they would still nip. I put in lots of plants and hides so that they could get away from each other a bit better. I like to use PVC pieces with my fish it is cheap and easy to hide. Good luck
