Hi everyone,
I'm sorry to report that vox got worse and worse and ended up passing away. I think he suffered quite a bit and I feel so guilty.
Unfortunately red spots have started appearing on a few other guppies, and, now that I'm more aware, one seems to be starting to have a clenched tail and some have a red streak in their bodies that I'm not entirely sure were there before.
Having said that, I'd like to do the quarantine thing and add aquarium salt. I did some looking around and it seems that, since I live in Canada, there is really no access to fish medicine here.
My new question: if I don't have a tank and I move them to a tote, how does that work with no heater, filter, good bacteria, etc.? Is that OK? There would be 5 guppies in it.
I would add salt to the tank itself, but we have a shrimp and a snail and aquarium plants.
