Guppy died last nigh

Water change maybe?

Water changes, done correctly, never hurt.

I'm doing a very large water change on my aquarium so I dont have to worry about it when I cant take care of it for a few days here

Right just done 30% so hopefully all ok. Should I feed them if they're due tonight or leave until tomorrow? Also when to test water ?

Feed on schedule, check params in 24 hours

I’m not much of an expert on livebearers hopefully someone a bit more knowledgable can help but ide treat with salt

Ok thanks for the advice, I know it's not Ich, seems some sort of fungus

Yeah , sometimes fish just die for no reason. It's a drag. Sometimes there doesn't even seem to be a reason . Just one of those things but it is a drag.

Doesn’t seem like ich, the rule of thumb is, if I doubt

Water change and salt lol

You seem to trust in the salt so I'll pick some up in the morning and give it a go

Some better pics

So I found a reputable local independent guy who sells fish and hes looked at pics and said it's a bacterial infection most likely secondary to a wound the fish had.
Pets at home (awful chain store) told me it was fin rot and tried selling me the meds for it, I declined but bought and put some salt in and will do some big water changes and lots of cleaning and more salt.
Local guy said if persists still he has the correct medication that turns the water blue/green apparently, cant remember name of it.
Probably will lose this guppy but hopefully save the rest

is it methylene blue?

is it methylene blue?
