[maido]

Hello i am only new to this whole fish thing so i hope i give enough information.
I have a male guppy who yesterday was swimming around fine and today he is just sitting on the bottom of the tank. He tries to swim up but just cant do it. His appearance is normal and his breathing is normal he just cant get to the top.
Can someone please help me solve this problem if possible

Sounds like swim bladder once it has prgressed no cure i'm afraid, and if he sitting on the bottom not good, you could try a med swim bladder by interpet, but sadly i don't hold out much hope, if he's still feeding try some shelled peas and daphnia.
