i understand the space constraints. in this case, the most responsible option would be to rehome some of the tetras. keeping them in too small a space will lead to stress, aggression, and health issues. maybe keep 4-5 in your current tank? local fish stores or aquarium groups often welcome healthy fish. they might even offer store credit or a trade for more suitable tank mates. what do you think about this approach?

I can't send them like that... How about keeping three with the guppies and putting six in the second tank?

i wouldn't recommend splitting the school of tetras - they're social fish that need to be in groups of at least 6 to feel secure and display natural behaviors. splitting them would cause stress and might lead to health issues. if you have two tanks, it would be better to keep all 9 tetras together in the larger one, and let the guppies have their own space in the other tank. this way both species can thrive in their preferred environments. what size are your tanks?

I’ll think about it some more. Anyway, after seeing them attack the guppies' tails, I don’t want to keep them together anymore. They even tried to attack the fry.

you're making the right call separating them. tetras can become territorial and aggressive, especially in smaller spaces. keeping the guppies and fry safe should be the priority. since you have two tanks, you could try: 1. guppies + fry in one tank 2. all tetras in the other tank what are the dimensions of your tanks? this will help determine the best setup.

Today, I first introduced the fry that were born three weeks ago to the guppies, then gradually added the smaller ones one by one over time. No one attacked the babies!
