    Kuhli loach with guppies

    my vote is on the other guppies. i had guppies that would just beat each other up and always had torn fins. then my next suspect would be the platies. neon tetras don't nip like that..loaches are on the bottom and shrimps probably ate them when they died. how many guppies do you have? all males?
