giantlumberjack Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 So one of my female guppy is resting on the bottom of the tank, i dont know if shes sick or pregnant but its weird i keep seeing her go back to the same spot over and over. The spot is a on top of my log decoration. Any ideas? Maybe shes pregnant but i swear she was not near a male for a more than 8 months. Any ideas on what i should do? Will post image later if you guys need some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giantlumberjack Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 pH I would say either 7 or 7.2 and 7.4 on a test of high PH Nitrates 0 ppm Nitrite 0 ppm Ammonia 0 Water Temperature About 72/74 F or 25/26 C Did not get an image of what she was doing on the log since i already put her in the fry cage.

giantlumberjack Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Darn, i think she died. Anyone got a clue what could of been the cause? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriendlyLoach Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Yeah, my guess is flukes. That would explain the strange behavior. Also guppys have the ability to keep having babies. They can store the sperm and so they are set for life after they breed once. Flukes can be treated with ParaCleanse (on aquarium coop online store) also general cure can work. I always recommend washing your hands after touching tank water, and don't touch tank water if you have a cut on your hand (or whatever is going in the tank) as some fish disease can transfer to humans.

giantlumberjack Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Should i try treating the tank even if the fish is dead now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantlumberjack Posted December 6, 2020 Author Share Posted December 6, 2020 Another one of my guppies died. Now i'm wondering if its something specific. When i picked her up she smelled really bad for a fresh looking corps. And by just rubbing her a yellowish organ popped out. So i decided to cut her open to see if anything was unusual inside and the smell seems to have gotten worse. She was kind of bloated but i thought it was just normal big fish fat. I guess it could have been some kind of weird fish pus all along? You guys ever heard or experienced this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
