Lost 2 Guppies

[Cazgar]

I was away over Christmas, so I did my water change a couple of days early & fed as usual
I was only away 3 days, so they didn't starve.
I came home to find 2 dead guppies
I did a 75% water change in case their bodies had caused a spike, tested the water nitrites 0 ammonia 0 nitrates 25
All the other fish are fine, even the babies, so can't understand why I lost 2
They had no obvious signs of anything wrong.
I'll be keeping a close eye on them for the next few days

that what i would of done if i was you as well

 

[bellabean]

I'm so sorry for your loss

 

[Cazgar]

Not having much luck, just lost another to dropsy.
She looked pregnant before I went away, but she got the dreaded pineconing & looked in great discomfort, so to save her suffering,I euthanised her.
Done another large water change, so fingers crossed I don't lose any more.
On a brighter note, the babies in the tank look fine & are thriving

Is your tank cycled? The deaths may all be related to water quality.

 

[Cazgar]

Yes, it's fully cycled.
The filter was in another tank before I got the bigger tank, so I just moved it & the fish over.
Haven't added any new fish either
