(have not checked water, ill do it tomorrow)
some guppies are staying in a low flow area, and heavy breathing, not a lot of clamping...
please help

it is a male dumbo guppy, maybe he has big fins so its harder for him to swim?
when he swims out of there hes totally fine..

 

[Sgooosh]

oh no.. they are staying there and i'm really worried, turned off the filter for a bit...

This is just a guess but maybe it’s Low oxygen levels?

ok thanks, 2 of them are now on top of the filter and just not even moving...

Yeah I think it’s low oxygen levels. Do you have an air stone or pump in your tank?

that seems to be the problem! they are "waing up " and some are taking gulps of air possible because the air all went to the top

yes, i turned it up

update: one is fine but the other two are still there... heavy breathing no more clamp tho

update: i got the fish out of the place and they seem all fine... they were in some sort of paralysis??

I have no idea... also i’m sorry I didn’t respond, had to walk my dogs and now i’m going to talk with the high school coach’s so i’m sorry if i don’t respond quickly. That’s good that they are back to normal though.

Pictures would definitely help. If they are gasping, it may be due to lack of oxygen or high ammonia levels. Have you tested the ammonia levels in the last 24 hours?

Yeah but I can check again tomorrow, maybe something changed. None of my other fish are doing this.
