Damaged Guppy

[tttnjfttt]

When ever I post pictures here, I first have them hosted on a different site. I know alot of people use photo bucket, I just use a geocities account.

Once they are hosted online, all you have to do is click on the IMG button (next to http), and type in the location of where it is.

You can also email pictures to me at tttnjfttt@aol.com, and I can put them on my geocities account and post them that way for you.

It's not working.

Ok, I got the email, but would almost rather teach you how to post images rather than do it for you, especially since you have photobucket now.

Go into your account and when you get to the pictures you want to post, right click on that image and select "copy image location" for firefox or for internet explorer, click right click on properties, and copy the address (URL).

Once you have done that, in a new post (or edit the one that isn't working), and click on IMG (right next to http/) and paste in your image location.

When you are done, it should look like this:

[WILDER]

lol, there abit blurry can't make much out, the fish look pale in the picks is he.

 

[xxSarahxx]

Yes maybe very slightly, but only slightly...

 

[tttnjfttt]

Very RANDOM idea, and no promisses on this one at all, but were the guppies kept with any tetras? Or depending on the filtration at the LPS, do they share the same water without a UV steralizer?

 

[WILDER]

I'm with ttnjftttt on this.

Pleistophora (a.k.a. Neon Tetra Disease)



Symptoms:

Pleistophora is also called Neon Tetra Disease because of its high prevalence among Neon Tetras, although it has also been reported to infect most Characins, Cichlids, Cyprinids (i.e., danios), and all the carp-like fishes. It is characterized by a loss of coloration and pale, white patches of skin, particularly the strip of skin beneath the dorsal fin. Other symptoms may include spinal curvature, emaciation, fin deterioration and erratic swimming behavior.



Cause:

The microsporidian parasite Pleistophora hyphessobryconis. Pleistophora live in the muscle tissue of infected fish and cause degeneration and wasting of the muscle. The parasites travel through the fish’s blood, quickly spreading to all areas of the body. Pleistophora not only affect the fish’s muscles but all its internal organs.



Treatment:

There is no effective cure for this illness, partly due to the fact that by the time diagnosis is confirmed the fish is too weak to be saved. If more than one fish in your aquarium succumbs to this parasite, the entire aquarium should be emptied and dissinfected. Some aquarists suggest the use of a diatom filter to trap the spores of the parasite and thus clear them from the tank.

Pleistophora can easily be mistaken for False Neon Disease, which is a bacterial infection and presents with the exact same symptoms. For this reason, it would be wise to remove the infected fish to a hospital tank (while disinfecting the main tank) and treat them with a broad spectrum antibiotic.

Quite possibly... what are you thinking of...??

 

[WILDER]

As the lfs could of used the tank for the guppys that neons tetra were kept in, or put with them.

Neon tetra disease. See wilder's post above.
