Keeg Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 What is your water hardness vs the stores? And temperature? Guppies are pretty strong so my guess is that the change of minerals from the store and your home are too different and need a longer acclimation like drip or having the tank be at their parameters and slowly work your way to yours.

The guppies in the photo doesn't appear to have severe ammonia poisoning to cause them to be lethargic. Yellowier and clearer guppies tend to have naturally pinkish to reddish gils that appear, with ammonia poisoning I would expect a bright and large red patch for these guppies. The best thing for ammonia poisoning is to have a stressless environment and clean water. Edited September 11, 2021 by Keeg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a sign of internal parasites. Para cleanse would take care of that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
