They seemed to settle down quite quickly in the new tank with the 5 glow light tetras we also got yesterday. When we woke this morning, we notice the yellow female is now missing the lower third of her tail and seems to be distant from the other swordtails :( has she been attacked and cast out or is she ill and dying? p.s: we have had the tank for four days before getting fish and have been treating the filter with a filter start to help the bacteria grow Hi there, my boyfriend and I bought two pairs of swordtails yesterday, an orange boy and girl and a yellow boy and girl.

I for one had experienced the death of all my females after their first drop. I provide excellent water quality, plenty of coverage, and i keep the tanks low light or no lights for 72 hours after they drop. Im able to keep most the fry alive with no problems this way, but the adults die after birthing. I have no idea way. I feed high quality food 2 times a day, and check water parameters 1 time a week with a 50% water change. So at this point Ive no idea why the mama's die.

I have 6 tetras, 5 guppies and 2 swordtails, reently 1 guppy has gone missing somehow, today one of the tetras jumped out of the tank, before now they have got along fine, suddenly i notice the tetras are very pale, you can't even see their red stripe, should i move the swordtails somewhere else?
