Such a tide does not suit all guinea pigs (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neap

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'such a tide' is the definition.
(neap tide is a kind of tide)

'not suit all guinea pigs' is the wordplay.
'NEAP' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

'does' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for neap that I've seen before include "A less than average tide" , "Sort of tide" , "Small tide" , "The half-way kind of tide" , "Tide of smallest rise and fall" .)
