Hi. Ill keep it brief:
50l tank with neons and 3 guppys (inlcuding this one) Water quality fine, 25% water change twice a week.
Summery:
Female Guppy, Thin flat stomach/tummy, lacking some colour in tail. Tail also ripped. Fish lethargic, sometimes clamping fins. Not eating right.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I bought a breeding trio of double-sword aquamarine guppies about 4 months ago.
About 5 days ago, a female started hiding away in the corner, tail touching the ground head up just sitting there.
Left her for a few days, noticed she wasnt eating. Took a closer look to notice her tail is more pastey in colour (shes albino/blonde) and was torn/ripped all along, as before her tail was almost a perfect rectangle in shape.
On day 3 I removed her from the tank and sat her in a floating breeder trap in the tank so no other fish could bother her (not that the other 2 female guppies in that tank or the neon tetras or shrimp would attack her). So basically no other fish i think would of attacked her, ive never seen any aggression in this tank at all.
So fin rot i think to my self?? Is that possible...how would of she just suddenly of contracted the disease i havent changed anything with the tank...Ideas?
What worries me more is her belly is almost none, not concaved in but completely flat empty. Shes about 6 months old and has never seen a male so its not like she had fry and has dropped any...impossible.
I have, today day 5, seen her eating...with some encouragement in the floating breeding trap. Im treating the whole tank with something called eSHa 2000, a good general all round tonic, good for the fry which are in there, and it says it treats fin rot too.
