Well one of my guppies is pregnant and has been chasing after the male and the other female. nipping at their tales or sides. Been wondering if I should remove her, but my smaller tank is not cycled just yet :cool: any suggestions?
 
Leave them be, unless it gets ugly;just separate them with a tank separator.
 
I have a tank of males and that sort of behavior goes on all the time but I don't think I've ever seen it in my female tank. I would let her be since she is pregnant since stress can cause her to abort or to hold her fry. If it gets too bad then you may need to move her regardless but if it's simply a bit of chasing and nipping I wouldn't worry too much about it.
 
Ya she had 5 fry yesterday, they all seem to be fine. Looking into getting some brine shrimp for them to eat.
