So I just noticed this, it looks like my guppy is bleeding. It's just a red spot, not anything gushing, but I can't tell

Sorry if those are not super great pics, I took it while it was dark.

that's an injury, make sure to remove sharp objects in the tank and keep water pristine, she will heal
 
Yes but thise are medicine, right now shes not infected so id probably just either water change every day and monitor
Maybe add some salt?
Okay, should I set up a hospital tank? And how can I do that immediately
 
I have the same thing that happened with one of my old female breeding Sailfin Mollies. I keep the water pristine by having a heavily under stocked tank, and doing 75% wc weekly.

The reason I chose the bacterial infection remedy is cause 1 if she already has a problem then it should be treated, and 2 if she doesn’t have a Bacterial infection she probably could have a chance at getting a bacterial infection cause she looks super weak, so to prevent it is bassicaly what I’m saying cause she/he has a small wound is what it looks like..
