I woke up this morning and found my guppy just staying at the bottom of the rocks. it doesn't seem active at all. I had this guppy for about 1month already. It had recovered from ich last week. what is wrong? the only recent thing i added in the tank was wisteria.

How long has this tank been running, and what size is it? A reading of 0 nitrates is usually accomplished in a heavily planted, lightly stocked tank.
 
tank has been running for 2 months and is a 10gallon. my nitrate use to be higher like around 40 i tihnk, until i used that amquel nitrite,nitrate, ammonia remover.
 
It may just still be stressed from the ich. Do you have a hospital tank? If so, I would put the guppy in it with some aquarium salt. Keep the water clean and warm and try to keep the tank dark.
 
Is the fish laying on the gravel to one side, sadly whitespot can cause bacterial infections on top.
