JohnsFishBunker Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 nitrate 50 nitrite 0 ammonia 0 GH 225 Kh 100 ph 7.2 temp 77 Does anyone have any idea what this is? Guppy is in a 75 community with a bunch of plecos. No one else is showing any kind of growth or flashing. Fish is acting normal, is eating fine, has flashed a few times but does seem relatively normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJs Aquatics Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I’ve owned guppies for years and never seen that, could be a number of things but it strangely resembles an issue an Apisto of mine had. I treated it for hole in the head (without ever knowing if that was the case) and she got better however idk if this is the same. I would probably treat her in a seperate container with meds for infection, fungus and parasites, monitor her for a week or so, and feed live foods. I used a pellet food called lapacho to help treat the Apisto however again this might be a different scenario it just looks identical. Could be a minor abrasion from flashing or fighting, judging by her size she’s probably going to be giving birth soon so alternative course is to wait but if it were me I would probably just monitor and minor treat her to be sure, hope something in this helps… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnsFishBunker Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 She is very ready to pop, so I was reluctant to pull her out and end up losing the babies but I think I'm going to drop her in some quarantine tanks that i have going right now and see what ends up happening. If it is hole in the head that would be very strange. I forgot to include a side picture but it looks like the bulge is coming up from under her scales and it's almost like a bubble of white. ill try and post a side picture when i catch her out today and post it. Thanks for the reply though!!! will update after a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
