Help! Guppy Dying!

[fropuf]

Help!
 
One of my guppies may be dying! I don't know what is wrong! It is floating in a corner of my tank, with this weird puffy tube hanging out the anus. I can't upload a picture right now, but I do know that the water is 140 ppm KH, 7.505 pH, and cycled. What should I do?

thats called poop.

salt
Try exposing the guppy to salt (aquarium salt)

 

[fropuf]

Not poop. It looks like a translucent white, like an intestine. I don't have aquarium salt.

 

[cooledwhip]

use epsom salt. like bathtub salt? I'm sure you have that. try to use the most natural one you have. 
 
I'm assuming if there is a scent/flavor like lavender it should be fine. IM ASSUMING. someone correct me please/

Is a little table salt OK?
I should mention I have no other tank, like a hospital tank, and there are 4 other healthy guppies in the same tank. It is a 30 gallon tank.

Clear poop can be a sign of internal parasites, is the fish emaciated or showing no interest in food?

 

[techen]

I wouldn't use table salt It's not really the same. If you don't have access to the correct salt just keep a eye on it. The worse thing you can do is panic and make a mistake, As Lyra said it's possible theres parasites but there most likely just struggling to pass it. Give it time.

 

[fropuf]

No interest in food, but it looks just as fat as the others.

 

[fropuf]

Should I still use the epsom salt?

 

[techen]

Epsom salt does work yea

 

[fropuf]

With the other fish in the tank, I mean?

 

[techen]

Normally you split them up and have the ill one in a small tank and treat.

 

[cooledwhip]

If you split him up use tank water.

I have no secondary tank I can use for longer than 1 hour, which is to say it is only suitable for a betta at best. Is it okay to use the epsom salt with the others in a tank? I know I should have a second tank, but money issues.
