Problems With Guppy Tail

[turnnidge]

I have 12 male guppies and well the red and blue coloured looking guppies their tales are also disappearing the parameters are fine however they have been like this for a week or so, so I dont really think its rot

I have not seen any nipping though, HOWEVER I have just woken up taken a look at my babies and its weird they are swimming like they are drunk! they a kind of swimming on their side

Can anyone help ??

I'd open another topic for this if I were you, make sure it gets read quicker. You don't wanna lose your babies if you can help it, and that doesn't sound good ...

One of my kribensis seems to have fin rot too, she is being bullied and I think the stress has caused it. i'm gonna pop her into a salt bath and then move her into the quarantine tank that the guppy was in as it has the meds in already. I hope she pulls through - it doesn't look as advanced as the guppy did. Will the med kill the good bacterias in my filter btw??

Oh thats not good

I had a guppy mysteriously disappear the other day...then four hours later another one was dead. Are you sure it is fin rot? Guppys are sensetive in my opinion and out of all my fish they are the ones that will just one day give up. So im not getting any more. Ive quarrantiened my dwarf flame gourami today because he has a white spot on him the size of a grain of rice and his fins are disappearing. He is being treated with Primafix.

R.I.P.
Finrot can be a secondary infection meaning something else is going on with the fish.
