The water is hardly ever changed and I don't believe it has been cycled, I don't really have control of the maintenance. The tank has been up for years but all creatures in it now have only been in it for a few months.
I've never tested the water and do not have access to testing kits. I just changed 30%of the water, its a ten gallon I believe. There are three other guppies and a dwarf frog, they are all fine.
One of my guppies cannot seem to swim. I found him laying in a plant not moving. I've removed the plant and so he is just laying at the bottom of the tank. If I nudge him with my small net he will get a short swim burst but other than that he won't move.

Its a very large tank that my goldfish is in and I am not a good judge of volume it could be ten. I just moved my guppy a few hours ago he hasn't produced any waste yet. And I am not a bad fishy parent I had many fish before but the goldfish I have now was a victim of fish pong that I rescued...
Sometime last night one of my guppies had died and I could tell it upset my other guppy. The nest time I checked on him, he was spending more time closer to the top of the tank and his tail seemed more torn then it had which I thought the goldfish probably did. So I moved my guppy to a small...
