Hello I have one fish (female guppy) in my tank that has lost alot of weight and barley eats. Would someone please help? There's no dots so it's not ick. Her color is still great there's no rot. Please any help would be amazing!

One possible cause of weight loss in fish is called wasting disease.

That was my guess and I told her general cure or paracleanse. What I didn't know is if it's contagious and she needs to treat full tank

Is the fish by itself?  Or does it have tankmates

I have had some females that do not recover after birthing and quit eating and lose weight. I have not found anything that brings them back so I always assume like I’m humans something went wrong in birthing. Could this be a possibility?

Are they short birthers? like how long does it take for the to birth? it could possibly but I received her pregnant but I dont know.

If your fish is eating ok and still losing or has a sunken belly and is spitting food out it more then  likely wasting disease I would treat with Expel p active ingredient is levamisole I would treat once a week for 3 weeks you might have to do a fourth course of treat depending on how your fish is s doing
