I lost a male guppy from unknown causes about a month and a half ago. The second male died this week and today the female is in quarantine as I found her displaying symptoms while still alive.

She appears to have difficulty breathing and swimming. She slowly floats to the bottom of the tank and lays on her side. In my little quarantine tank, there's less water movement and she can sort of limp along for short bursts and then stops moving again.

There appears to be damage to one pectoral fin and dorsal fin. I can't tell quite if her fins are just damaged or if there is something growing on them that's eating at them.

How do I save my last lil girl?

Is your female guppy in the main tank or quarantine tank? What size is each tank? Water parameters? (pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate) Temperature? Water change schedule? (How often/how much)
Tankmates? Has anything been added recently? (Fish, decor, chemicals, etc) What does her poo look like? 
 
Sorry for all the Qs but it will help give a better idea of what is going on. I hope she makes it!
