some serious problems

[Alix]

ok it started with one of my female guppys. she started to look a lil beat up but i watch for a long time an didnt see any one even look at her then thismorning another of my females started ACTING funny she is at the bottum of the tank. jus sitting there sometimes her tummy will touch the gravel. now them 2 are just hanging out. if they dont get better soon im going to jus get rid of them an start a all male tank.

i would like any help.

are they pregnant? when you were watching were you watching from a distance? I am just trying to figure out what happened. if you were right next to the tank the fish will not act as if you are away. you must backaway from the tank to watch or set up a camera for a half an hour or so. they both have worked for me.

no. they even act like that when im away.

How would you know what they do when you are away?
Do they look any different? Are thier bellies starting to shrink?
Sometimes they act like that when they first get an internal parasite.
You really must take a good look at them because it could even be someting with your water perams.
Too many males in the tank will stress out the females and they will fall ill.

Ive had that happen also. i didnt even think of that

so how do you plan on "getting rid of them" if that is the case?
