Do the guppys look bloated or thin.
Are they laboured breathing.
Any excess mucas on there body or gills.
Any signs of flicking and rubbing.
What does it look like when the fish go to the toilet.
Any red streaking or sores on the body of the fish.

Well now that you mention the it they look kind of thin, they were quite big the other day and now they look alot smaller (both pregnant neither have dropped)

As for hthe others i cant really see anythign different to normal.

Just finsished doing the water change though and they have unclamped their anal fins abit, will do another 25% very strange imo

So they look on the skinny side even though they are still pregnant.
Definately not had any fry yet, sure they haven't had the fry and they have been eaten.

What does it look like when the fish go the toilet.
Check the anus of the fish to see if its enlarged or red and inflamed.

1 may have had her fry as her last drop was on an 6th of jan but the other one cant have as she had hers 2 weeks ago.
The one who could have had her fry doesnt seem to have had and i didnt notice any signs other than she refused to eat today Their anus's are as normal as are poos.

Being really skinny can be old age, fish tb, internal parasites.

She could be old, she was from a friend of the family, all my guppies were, i think its strange though that it happend all of a sudden. Shes hanging around the filter/heater area so could be dropping fry but doesn't seem to be. Her tail also seems alittle ragged, so I think i'll add some antifinrot meds which i've got. Would you agree with me on that one?

 

[windhopper]

I just read up about fish TB sounds like it from this end. Not eating, tail seems to be deteriorating and shes lethargic
Now what?

 

[WILDER]

Has any fish been nipping her fins.
When fish are ill fish will attack them.
How much of the tail is damaged.
Any white or red edging to the fins.

Its hard to say fish tb without more symtoms showing.
Can you load a pic up.
Would you say she really skinny.
if she old it could be that she at the end of her life.
Is her spine bending.

They havent been nipping at her that i've noticed, and the fins arent like they've beeen bitten its like theyre fraying from the edges in. the tail seems redder than normal. Her spine isnt bending so again i dont know whats wrong.

I will try and get a photo up asap.

When you say her fins look redder do you mean her colour, or like blood patches or red streaking throw the fins.

I honestly cant tell.

TODAY THIS IS URGENT!! I have treated following some more advice for finrot, this morning one of the original two looked fine and still does 21:00. However 4 more have come down with whatever it is and im worried about the rest of them getting it. They have all (the sick ones) gone lethargic and hiding in the darker corner of the tank by the filter/heater area. The one that hadnt got better overnight seems to be struggling with swimming full stop and just sits on the filter in the suction area.
I'm really worried, I've tried to catch this asap but dont know if i did.

 

[WILDER]

is it the interpet finrot med.
I would of added anti internal bacteria med by interpet.

Are these the symtoms your fish are showing.
One fish skinny. But producing brown poo.
Finrot.
Being lethagic.

Have you seen any of your fish produce long stringy white poo or clear mucas poo.
I think I would worm your fish with this med. It's best to worm fish anyway.
