Spewing_nonsense_ Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Alright so, I just got 3 guppies on saturday, they were from petsmart so diseases are to be expected and I'm pretty sure it's just something they brought home with them and not caused by the tank I have set up for them. The first one to get something was a female that had babies on sunday. So I was thinking maybe the stress of the birth or something but now its spreading, altho the other female is also pregnant and was having contractions. Now the female that's currently pregnant has a white growth near the end of her tail, and she also has an orangeish ball coming out of her butt which I'm worried may be a still born or something? Idk need diagnosis on that too, and then the female that already gave birth has a white spot under her dorsal fin, altho the picture is really blurry, and the male has a ring on his tail but couldnt get a picture of that. The babies seem to be doing just fine, and I dosed the med trio on saturday, sunday all seemed to be fine so I didnt do anything, then yesterday I noticed the white spot, that wasnt ich, on the first female guppy and I decided to dose another packet of maracyn, then when i came home today and saw it had spread to the other female amd possibly starting on the male i decided to test water and when that showed nothing to come here. Also my params are Ph: 7.4? (Hard to read test kit lol) Ammonia: 0 Nitrite:0 Nitrate:0 Temp: 77°F Edited October 13, 2020 by Spewing_nonsense_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spewing_nonsense_ Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Heres a pic I just snapped, shes pregnant and been lying on the substrate for the past 30 min, also she has a small orange dot coming out her butt, altho since shes on top of the gravel it kinda just looks like a piece of gravel but you can clearly see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Cory Posted October 14, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 14, 2020 Fungal and bacterial infections are running rampant it looks like. I would pull the plants and do 1 tablespoon of salt per gallon. Or dose ich x/maracyn to stop the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
