i haven't had guppies before this time but i was raised around fish and have never seen this before. water is all normal, temp is where it should be, normal ph and all, no new stuff to the tank, except that i lost 2 other guppies a bit ago and a platy recently. just changed the water a day ago (regular weekly change), and my guppy has been swimming at the top right side of the tank in large circles consistently. i have a platy 3 black phantoms and a bottom feeder in the tank with it. the tank has been up for about a month and a half and i changed the filter recently. is it maybe swim bladder? i know my mums aquarium had it a while ago but i don't know what the symptoms are...
the platy i lost was weird too, maybe some1 can identify it for me? it literally ballooned up and couldn't swim right, kept bumping into things and just sorta sat there, then it died an hour after the first symptom came up...
the 2 guppies wouldn't eat, i lost those a day after i bought them... I'm thinking stress and not taken care of well before i got them.
mind you this wasn't all at the same time.

It was probably exhaustion or stress that killed him. Its possible that he lost his fin to a particularly evil piece of decor.
