That's just a male being a male. Male guppies want to mate 24/7 and are always after the females. The best bet is to add another female and split up his advances or he will harass your one female to death. Possibly literally.

Male guppies constantly nip and bug the females to mate, add a few more females and all will be well.

One of two things;
1. Your "female" is really a male, or
2. Female has a tail that's too fancy and the male just THINK's she's a he.
He's RIPPING his competition to shreds, either way.
Solution: Get some "Plain Jane" females.

short answer: No lengthy answer: The dwarf frogs are highly what keeps this from being a fantastic blend. Dwarf frogs favor to devour something they could can slot of their mouths...highly neons--believe me, I used to artwork at Petsmart and the plannogram for the aquarium wall had the dwarf frogs in with the neons--final analysis: each and every nighttime I closed up, we had fewer and a lot less neons. once you get the frogs out of the equation, your set up receives a touch more advantageous positive. You do notwithstanding, favor to finish a touch tweaking. i could advise upgrading to a 10-15 gallon (you'll get a kit fairly inexpensively). also, neons are coaching fish and do best in communities of 5 or more advantageous, so that you may favor to judge including 2 more advantageous on your tank. Guppies thrive in communities of two women human beings for each a million male, so in case you go with to characteristic any more advantageous guppies, keep that ratio in innovations. That about does it for a tank that length. A bottom feeder like a dwarf cory catfish would also be a staggering addition, yet you'd be wanting to improve to a 20 gallon in case you go with to go that direction. the finest element i could advise is a biowheel clear out with somewhat more advantageous filtration than the size tank you've chosen. (i.e. 20 gallon filtration for a 10-15 gallon tank or 30 gallon filtration for a 20 gallon tank). except that, in simple terms be sure your heater is desirous to the right temp, and also you turn your light fixtures off each and every nighttime. wish that's what you've been searching for.
