Hi,
I was wondering if someone would be able to give me some advice on how to treat my sick guppy. I’ve had three die already in the last month and can’t figure out what is wrong.
They’ve so far all died in a very similar way. They start spending most of their time sitting at the bottom of the tank lying on the substrate. They tend to last for a few days/ even weeks like this before eventually dying.
This all started after a got a couple of new Guppy’s from Pets At Home (my mistake I know).
I’ve done plenty of water changes and have kept checking my parameters. I tried using a course of NT Labs Disease Solve as per the recommendation of my LFS bit that didn’t seem to help.
My biggest problem is that besides lying on the bottom of the tank, the fish don’t seem to have any physical issues that I can see. All the diagnosis guides online talk about inflamed gills, or worms etc but I can’t see any of this.
Here’s a video of the guppy. Can anyone suggest a course of treatment that will not only help this guy but stop the cycle of them dying.
Currently I have 8 male Guppy’s in a Fluval Edge 46L.
The temperature is consistently around the 24 degree mark and my parameters are the following. Having done a 50% water change yesterday with another 50% done three days before that.
Ammonia - 0.25
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 20
Thanks in advance for the help!
