Hi I have a 30L biorb which had guppies in it. Sadly they are all dead now and as I will be travelling and away from home in the next few weeks I think I should perhaps find an easy low maintenance solution to keep it going until I'm back when I can restock. What do you think? Shall I just add...

All, sorry about the silence. I thought the pandemic had ended but since I last wrote to you, I have just one guppy still alive in the tank and it doesn't look like it is well... I'd expect it to die too, soon, sadly. What would you recommend I do before getting any new fish in?

I don't think I can kill it... still breathing but still bent and not moving much - was floating at the top of the tank. Now it's been moved into a smaller container on its own. I will monitor and see if any improvements.

Good morning all! Quick update for you: everyone still alive! Salt seems to have worked as a tonic: the struggling fish is back up although all crooked - see photo. Let's wait and see shall we? I assume there is not much else to do, but let me know if otherwise! Thank you.

ok, I guess it'll probably be dead by the morning. It's been lying on the gravel for a few hours now...

Thanks Colin, will do that now. Should I take the dying fish out and put it in a smaller container with tank water?

hopefully it'll work now! sorry - I'm not used to this!

Mmmmh, not sure if this any better! The video was taken this morning Here are the pictures as well

Here are some pictures just taken of the 3 survivors. It seems like the one who was struggling this morning is now almost dead by the shell (still moving a little). I will take it out as soon as it's dead and look into the salt thing next! Thank you.
