thats what i thought.

but is it treatable or not

Is the guppy also bloated.
How old is the fish.
What do you feed your fish.
Is the fish still eating.
Swim bladder can be fetched on by poor diet, bad water quality, unstable temp.

If the guppy still eating try some peas.

Look under swim bladder it explains it well.

doesnt look bloated but then its a female guppy so hard to tell

not eating at the moment

i feed mixed diet which includes a staple diet of zmfoods

dont know how old the fish is

its a fully grown large adult female

is there any treatment to use or not?

Fish need a good varied diet of frozen foods and veg.
Daphnia good as it digest the fish food.
Don't over feed bloodworms it can make them bloat up.

Cooks some frozen peas for a few minutes, let cool down and pop out of shell.
Mush between fingers into small peices and add to the tank.

You could issolate the guppy and try a bacterial med.

they do get fed on various freeze dried foods, live foods.

cucumber

would interpet anti internal bacteria med work?


i hvae no more to isolate fish to at the moment would it be ok to add to tank , its split the tank guppy on one side fish on other side if you know what i mean , but same water

Stop buying freeze dried foods myself only buy frozen foods.
Does the fish look like it can make it, or in very poor condition.
I would only medicate the whole tank if you think the fish stand a chance of recovering.
The problem with medicating the full tank is that the more you use meds the more resistance the fish build up to the med.

Anti internal bacteria med by interpet.
