Sick Guppy

[mommyof2bettas]

There is something wrong with my female guppy.

Tank size:10 gallons
ammonia:0
nitrite:0
nitrate:10
tank temp:78F

Fish Symptoms:Has a pink spot on side. It's quite small, about the size of this smilie's eye (couldn't find any other example!) Poop is normal-brown in color and not stringy. No fuzz, no flicking or rubbing, no white spots, no heavy breathing, no other symptoms.

Volume and Frequency of water changes:2 25% per week

Chemical Additives or Media in your tank:none

Tank inhabitants:4 guppies (2 males 2 female, the males were harassing her) 1 cory (getting more soon) 1 platy.

Recent additions to your tank (living or decoration):1 male guppy at Easter, nothing else since January

Exposure to chemicals:none that I know of. I don't add any aerosol or anything similar in the room.

At first I thought it might be an ulcer, but I find it quite small and it doesn't have any red or white outline. I have bacterial med, MelaFix, and salt available as meds, might be able to get some others on the weekend. But probably not sooner. She is in isolation atm.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Its bacterial but will need something better than melafix.
Maracyn meds.
Good luck.

When you get the problem sorted, I'd add a couple more female Guppies. Males are relentless (aren't we chaps?!).
