Worried About Guppy

[naomilovesherfish]

The fish is also producing clear mucas poo which can be a sign of internal parasites.
I would still worm the tank as its best to worm fish anyway.
Something not right and it could all be down to internal parasites.
Internal parasites can by passed onto fry inside the mother.
Good luck bless her.

i kept her by herself all night and she has perked up and she is not red on her back end now, but still not feeding. i have done a water change and going to get some stuff for the worms tomorrow, just hope she holds out till then, but the other two females know theres something not right and they keep chasing her away.

thanks

some guppies hold on and dont let go and their stomachs can split

yeh i have had experienced that one of my guppies gave birth to 15fry then she was twice as big again within a week, she started to split open, before i knew it she was dead and when i removed her from the tank her stomach burst open there was over 50 fry none were alive. just hope i dont have to go through that again, its horrible when you wait so long and get so excited about your new lot of fry and either the fry or mum die. not had much luck with my female guppies either they die after a couple of weeks,or they die trying to give birth or after, or they die on their second lot of fry. must be something i am doing wrong.

thanks

I think I may have teh same issue with my guppy. She has ben getting bigger and bigger for the last two weeks. I would say she is now 3 times her normal size. Like a large cube with fins.

I've moved her to a quarantine tank to see what happens.

It also looks like there may be a fry stuck tail first, with a fine string of mucus.

What worming treatment is adviseable if it could be parasites?
