Hi all,
For a few days now one of my male guppies started behaving strangely - hanging out in the same spot near the surface, not moving very much (no shimmies though) and has lost a lot of colour. Today his tail is split almost in two.
We have him in a breeding net as our QT tank is currently in use and he is swimming around in it quite slowly. We've offered him food and he's taken a little.
Tank is a Fluval Roma 200 which is only a week old, it currently has the contents of our old 65l (guppies, danios and platies) with the old (cycled) and new (partially seeded) filter. It is testing 0s for nitrite, ammonia and nitrate and we've been doing PWCs this week. Most recent additions was a shoal of Cardinal tetras from our regular LFS.
Could it just be the stress of moving home that has done it? Or could it be something more sinister which we could medicate? My husband reckons he may just be old and on the way out although he's not particularly big for a guppy?
