My pretty female guppy been sitting on bottom or under filter or next to heater for 3 days now no visual signs of anything wrong she's clamping her tail a bit but that's it
water par. are fine amm and no2 are at 0
my 4 other guppies are acting fine and have 9fry in beading box that I think she gave birth to 2 weeks ago so pretty sure she's not pregnant no gravid spot either
any help would be great REALLY don't want to lose her hard to find female gold cobra female
trying to find a way to attach pic won't let me
thanks
 
move her to another tank and sprinkle in a certain amount of aquarium salt (look up how much you need to put in) and she may do better
check this link out it: http://www.apifishcare.com/product.php?id=628#.VF-4IPTF-4I you have to  Add 1 rounded tablespoon for every 5 U.S. gallons or ½ rounded teaspoon for every U.S. gallon of aquarium water
 
Forgot to mention I had raised temp and added salt yesterday but I will keep going with that I Just don't see what can be wrong with her
thanks
Here the pic hope it helps

Yes good job now you should try to figure out what made her sick/damaged and then you can find a cure for it. Heres a list of sicknesses and how to recongnize them:  http://www.fishnet.org/sick-fish-chart.htm she also may have gotten stuck to the filter and luckily escaped, if this happens from my experience i think your gonna have to hope! also consider putting on some sponge around the filter so other fish cant get sucked in.
 
Well that was not very helpful..... the reason I posted on this forum was to get help to diagnose her....tried to put as much info as I could it's been at lease 4 days she's not better or worst.... really though I would of got some kind of help thank
 
Swelling of abdomen, raised scales around swollen area.

Dropsy (Malawi Bloat) may be caused by internal bacterial infection (if swelling is sudden), parasites, or cancer (if swelling is gradual).

Add 1/8 teaspoon of Epsom salt for every 5 gallons of water and monitor for two weeks. Check for signs of bacterial infection or parasites for further treatment.
