Hi, I seem to have a problem keeping male guppies alive. I have a 55 gal tank with guppies, mollies, lemon tetras, scissor tails and catfish. I have a total of 22 fish in there. Every time I get a male guppy he is fine for several days then his tail begins to get ragged and shreds and then he dies within a day or two. I have had four female guppies since I set the tank in Dec. and they have long tails also. I haven't had any problem with any other of the fish. I never see any bullying until the male guppy gets really weak. I do weekly water changes and test the water weekly. Does any body have any idea what could be going on here. Thanks, Kim
