Guppies Dying ?

[kris1978]

my mother inlaw has a 90l tank with some plants, u/g filter, all the water tests i have done have come back fine

ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 10
ph 7.6

she has 7 neons, 4 other tetras, 2 angel fish, 2 guppys.
1 plec which died 2 days ago, she has lost 5 guppies now, 1 a day at mo and the other 2 dont look well, 1 has white stuff around its mouth, looks like fungus, the other looks like pop eye, the tank has been under treatment for 2 weeks now and the only fish which are mainly dying are the guppies, why only the guppies?
i have been doing water changes for her but still not helping.
please can someone give me some ideas as what this could be and y its only really effecting the guppies and not the tetras and angel fish?
the tank is about 4 months old now.

my guppies keep dying aswell... some randomly, some with illness.

theyre v weak fish i think.

are they being attacked by the angels or summit?

and are you using those dip strips or a liquid test kit? the dip ones r crap.

guppies nowadays are that interbred they are very suseptable 2 illness (weekness in over breeding) u say u are treating the fish !!! are u re putting the treatment back in for the amount of water that is been changed?

i have been adding the amount to the amount of water i have put into the tank, i dont wanna overdose them.
now 1 of the neons have just died
it was a dip stick test, i will test with a master kit later when i go over there, i did check the ammonia the other day and that was 0.
strange

guppys are weak and die easy but we can help prevent this by making sure the guppys get fed about 3 times a day {small amounts} and guppys need 12 hours of light a day

Are the guppys wild caught.
What does it look like when the fish go to the toilet.

My guppies keep dying to and im not sure why....

Mine seem very bloated too and im not sure why

I sometimes leave them a day without feed, cos i read a tropical fish book and it said its good to fast them for a day incase their constipated,

Mine still are quite bloated tho

 

[WILDER]

Cook some frozen peas for a few minutes, let cool down and pop out of shell, mush between fingers and add to the tank.
Signs of internal parasites are.
Low stringy white poo or clear mucas poo.
Being thin or bloated.
Worms prutruding from the anus.
Sometimes bent spine.
Red inflamed anus or enlarged anus.

Fish need a good varied diet of frozen foods and veg.
Peas are good for constipation, and daphnia good at digesting a fish food.
