Hi,
I've have had three guppies for several months now and they were all thriving. But within the past two weeks, two of them have died. One from dropsy and the other showed no symptoms before she died. Now there's only one left and he seems to be sulking and hasn't eaten last night or this morning. He has lost most of his color and his body seems to be bent, but his fins are not yet clamped. Last night when I took the other dead female out, it seemed like he panicked, he was laying beside her while i was trying to retrieve her and then began rapidly swimming around the tank. Now he seems lethargic but his fins are moving very fast. Im not sure what to do because I don't want him to suffer of depression (if thats what it is??) but if there is a bacteria or illness in my tank that killed the others and is now working on him, I don't want to kill new guppies too.
Any advice??
Thanks
