triss Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) Hello everyone, I have a problem with my (probably) 1,5 year old guppy. 😞 A few weeks ago he started swimming vertically, his scales started to sticking out, fins clamped, and got very thin. I started treatment with ESHA ndx, cause he had sunken belly. His poops are normal tho. 3 days ago I started to bath him in water with ESHA 2000 and also added more salt to my aquarium but it didn't help. He also developped something white on his body 2 yesterday (first picture) but to me it looks more like a scale that falls off... But I might be wrong. I started to think maybe it's not a disease, maybe he's just old? He's not THAT old, but he's from import and I've heard that imported fish has shorter life span. I also have male only tank. Appetite? He was a beast, didn't let anyone eat. But now he eats like every other guppy. Today he's barely swimming. He just "stands" and moves his fins a little bit like on the third pic. 😞 He previously was swimming under the surface, although I have filter with air pump His tail is torned but it is like this for about half a year now, cause my other guppy was aggressive at the beggining... My parameters: Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 10 PH: 7,8 GH: 13 KH: 10 Temp: 74 F Size: 12 Gal Edited March 26 by triss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Pineconing can by a caused a number of things internal bacterial infections organ failure parasitic infections If you have a quarantine tank or a tote you could use to quarantine then I would treat with a higher dose of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons salt just remember to only put back in what you take out so if you do a 2 gallon water change put 1 table spoon of salt back in as salt only removed though water changes I would do a full course of Esha 2000Â instead of baths and i would add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties @triss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
