I'm having trouble with my gupies, I added 3mollies awhile back 2 dide 1 got very sick but servived. Now one by one my gupies start dieing. First they start swimming at an angle and cant get their tales up then over the course of a few days they cant swim at all and sit on the bottom and die. I'm using prima fix for any fungle infections ive tride seperating the effected fish but they just die. Any help would be great.

Hi and welcome to the forum! I'm sorry you are having trouble with your tank. Could you give us some more information about it? How long has the tank been set up? Is the tank cycled? Have you tested for ammonia and nitrite? What is a Blue gamura? I'd love to help, but I need some more information to know just what I am dealing with.

Ive had it up and tuning for 4 months its cycled.I have a full test kit every thing is normal it all started after those damnable mollies., but the gullies are showing different symptoms, I just check an hour ago and another red guy is swimming with his back arched and cant swim up without a lot of effort. He'll probably be dead in 3. Days

Welcome. So sorry about your guppies. You might be able to save some of them. How often do you change water? What temp is your tank at? Do you use dechlorinator? First thing I would do before any questions would be 25% waterchange with conditioned d water that has been brought up to tank temp

 

[wobblescat]

I already do all that. I just don't get it...

What test kit are you using?

 

[rsskylight04]

Try keeping the light out for a couple days. Guppies can usually shake off sickness if they are in good water and eating good food and are not stressed. When water quality is poor they become vulnerable to all sorts of fungus and disease, parasites, finrot. Symptoms you describe sounds like ammonia or nitrite poisoning. I would try daily water changes of 25-50%. It won't hurt .

 

[wobblescat]

Ill try the lite thing didn't. Really think about stress since they've been ok should I change wat more than once a week?

 

[rsskylight04]

I would change water every day.

 

[wobblescat]

My other fish get too stressed during a water change I don't want to freak them out

 

[rsskylight04]

Make sure the water for the change is dechloronated and up to temp and you should have no problem. Try feeding a small amount right after the change to settle your fish and assure them that all is well.

Not doing water changes will kill all of your fish, not just your guppies.

The water changes help a lot. But all my test said the water was fine. How long do I have to do daily changes?

dieng pregnant guppies

Twice now ive had VERY pregnant guppies die on me. It almost seems they died insted of giving birth, or had complications? They're in a 10 gallon nursery tank well aclimated water tests all fine. What could be going on?

 

[rsskylight04]

I've seen guppies' belly swell then the fish die. Not sure what causes it. I think it migjt be parasites. Maybe make a thread in the fish diseases section of the forum.

Sorry your having troubles. Sometimes it's hard to diagnose a problem when you don't have the whole picture. Maybe you could give us a little more info by filling out this form.
