dying? well thats never good! whats the problem? i mean....symptoms n all?
They seem to get a "white" film all over their bodies, I've used wardley's triple sulfa aquarium tablets and they haven't really helped. :(

Some of the guppies also look like they tails are a bit tattered. :*)
 
gawd.....try posting something in the fish emergency area....it's probably something obvious, but i don't know anything about fish sicknesses......

the only thing that comes to my mind when you say that is maybe fin rot? but like i said...i have no clue.
 
hey wat exactly does the white stuff look like?
it might be a parasite called ich
 
yea if its white salt looking specs its ich. if its fuzzy white stuff its fungus. none of them are good and should br treated as soon as possible.
 
From what you're saying I think it's fungus.

But how would fungus start? I cycle 1/3 of the tank every 2 weeks and monitor the pH all the time. And my tank has a powered filter.
 
dunno....but maybe you should go to the store asap, and look for something to cure funguses....

try bettamax....that stuff is great for nearly everything. i've got some....i'll read off what it fixes:

listlessness, poor appetite, splits or holes in tail and fins, poor color, poor water quality, vitamin deficiency, bacterial infections, fungal infections

really...it's great stuff....
 
for fungus, i did everything right too. but i think the betta from the store was infected. the symptoms just started showing after it came to my house though.
