whats wrong with her

[wongy008]

hi guys

one of female guppies has fallen ill i beleive
she is heavily pregnant and thought she was gonna be ready soon
but i think she has fallen ill. she has tiny white dots all over her
is this white spot??
is it contagious to other fish??
she is kinda still normal though still feeding but just does not look too well

your guppy has ich turn up your heater to 85 degrees and this should take care of your problem what kind of fish are in your tank if you dont have any scaless fish in your tank you could add some salt but before you add anything let me know what kind of fish is in thier with your guppy.

ok ive turned up the heater as u said

ive got neon tetra
guppies
gourami
catfish

two other species im not sure what they are
thought they looked nice and bought em

well if you have a neon then you cant use the salt just get the temp to 85 degrees and let it stay up that high for a week or so and it will kill off the ich. and by the way welcome to the forum you will love it here the people are great and keep a eye on the guppy her babies will more than likely get eating if you dont put them in a tank of thier own.
