livebearers attaking tetras
My silver molly and sunset platy seem to be ganging up on my gold skirt long finned tetras. They are fighting constantly but the tetras are fast and keep their fins away. None of my fish even see my guppy's huge tail but rather to fight my tetras. Why is this happening and can i stop it. I've tried filling a dental needle with water and sending jets of water at the livebearers when ever they go near the tetras but it's not really helping

Re: livebearers attaking tetras
The molly is probably bored or frustrated and is bugging the tetras. The tetras need to be in a school and the livebearers prefer 3 females to 1 male.
