Problems With Guppy Tail

[pastabake]

I had a guppy do this a couple days ago .. sadly it died. If it happens again I'll be doing the salt bath treatment.

I just wish i had the right meds in... got ich, velvet and anti internal bacteria, but not finrot

 

[WILDER]

That anti internal bacteria med by interpet will be fine.

 

[tibby25731]

REALLY? Oh my god, brilliant! Will dose up now! Thanks Wilder!

 

[WILDER]

Good luck.

 

[tibby25731]

One more question - treatment says stir the dosage into 1/2 litre of warm water - from the tank, or fresh? And if fresh - dechlorinated or not?

 

[WILDER]

I just use tank water.

 

[tibby25731]

thanks!

 

[tibby25731]

right, wish me luck everyone. I hope my guppy pulls through, he is so pretty and his friend will be devastated to have no-one to zoom round the quarantine with

 

[WILDER]

Good luck.

Fear, stress, or poor diet/enviroment conditions can start this up. I personally have never seen fin rot look like that on a fish before. When I had fin rot in the past it always stayed on the ends, but it would chunk off as I see your gups is starting to do.

Water parameters are perfect, but I only got the new guppies on Saturday, so I guess the stress of the move might have caused it? My other guppy looks fine - he has a chunk out of his tail but was like that when I got him, its nibbled though I am sure as you can see the see through new tail starting to grow. But he was such a gorgeous blue/silver colour I bought him anyway regardless of nibbling!

My guppy died . Poor little thing. I feel so bad but I know there was nothing else I could do for him, this finrot came so fast. What a horrible disease. I will be buying specific medication for this disease so that if another fish gets it, I can give them a fighting chance.

Naw!
is anything nibbling on it.
what kind of fish have you got in your tank?
i have no idea what would be causing that .
sorry

He died already, it was finrot . Nasty disease, one day he was fine, next day dead.
