what are your water quality parameters, ammonia, nitrites, nitrates and pH? how many
fish, how big, how much water (gallons), how much filtration, got gravel, what kind
of food and how much do you feed per day? Ingrid

right, it isnt the guppies. the GF will eat the guppies. it is the algae eaters
that are going after your GF when the lights are off.
move the algae eaters out, do the salt dip on the GF.

put 1 teaspoon of salt per 5 gallons of water and hopefully they will come around.
