Female guppies keep dying

[Brichardi]

To test your theory, I put 10 males & 1 female guppies in a 1 ft tank and guess what? After few days, the female still alive & kicking and no signs of fins damages as well, every now & then there are few males chasing after her & taking turns to GR her. So the conclusion is either your betta or water conditions is the cause of death of your female guppies! Hope this helps.

Wow... got so many to experiment on...

Thanks for taking the time to test it out, will try to separate the guppies from the betta and see if the females (when I get new ones) survive.
