Guppy Problems

Does anyone else have problems with guppies? I've had mollies, platies and swordtails in the past with no problem, but I can't keep guppies alive. I'm trying again. I have 6 guppies in a fully cycled 29 gallon aquarium. I checked the water parameters a few hours ago, and they are perfect, yet the guppies are hanging on top, moving slightly, but not near as active as they should be.

The filter is an aquaclear 70 power filter. The temp is 74.

Any help would be appreciated!:cry:

It is probably the stock. I have no issues with guppies or Platies but I can't keep mollies they die within a month every time.

I will say most of the guppies I have bought where kinda sickly but all the ones I have now are tank breed by me. They are very hardy now.

I found a family run pet shop that has fantastic guppies. I bought some today, and they are active, healthy and beautiful. I haven't had guppies this active in a long time. I think it was the stock. Keep your fingers crossed. I really want a guppy tank.:-D
