Okay, i bought six guppies yesterday, 2 male, and 4 female. Unfortunately, the guy at the LFS didn't give me a choice of fish so what i got was quite a mixed bag. Two females, had quite ripped up tails. on one, the rip was almost like a bite mark, the wound looked clean, and since yesterday has improved quite dramatically, however, the others wounds were all in little bits, little holes etc. Also, she had an opaque speck on her pectoral fin, and a redish mark on her gills. As one of the males was being quite vicious with the females, i decided to seperate this female into a breeding trap to give her a chance to recover. The guppies situation has gotten worse however, she sits on the bottom with her fins pointed upwards. The tail has got slightly better but her gillls look worse. Does anyone know what this is?
The tank is a 30 gallon, has been set up for two years, temp is currently at 25 Degrees Celsius. Worryingly, another guppy also has slight red marks on her gills, to be honest it might just be the colouring, as that guppy is not lethargic at all.
Please help,
Finlay
P.S i have not currently treated them with any meds


(PPS: Sorry for double posting, but i was wondering if any guppy experts might see it better on this board)
 
Ok thats good to know. She seems to have woken up a bit now, and is trying to get out. Im at odds what to do, i think i might let her out for tonight, and if she gets any worse, put her back.
