Hi, recently i brought a 40 litre tank planted tank. In that tank I had 7 guppies and one guppy fry (all boys). I have had the guppies for about 5 days, brought from a pet shop. About three days ago, one of my guppies wasn't swimming, but was on the bottom of the tank heavily breathing the next day he sadly passed away. Then today, another one of my guppy is looking unwell, struggling to swim and resting at the top of the tank, he hasn't passed away yet, so i placed him in a separate tank away from the other fish. Although i have a feeling he will pass away.
so some things to know,
- The second sick guppy had white (almost clear) stringy poop
- My pH is 6.3, ammonia is between 0 and 0.25, and i don't know about the nitrite.
- all my other fish look quite well, happily swimming around, good eaters.
-when i did get these two guppies, they weren't as social as the other ones.
any help would be highly appreciated!
thanks,
Cas
