My Dumbo ear platinum red tail guppy is dying!
He was fine when I brought him 2 months ago though he had an injured tail. Then for the last three weeks he started to develop fin rot which was too mild and slow to notice. Three days ago, I noticed one of his fin was ripped really badly.
So I quarrentined him and three other male guppies with tails smaller than I remembered. I added some aquarium salt too.
The next day, I found my cobra guppy dead, who except for the missing chunk of his tail seemed too healthy to die and white tuxedo guppy whos tail had a chunk missing which hadn't been there before I moved him. So I removed both the tuxedo and another cobra male and put them in main tank.
Today both of them seem better, the tuxedos tail seems to get surprisingly better in the difference of one day.
But the platinum red tail has gotten worse. He's too weak, his beautiful tail and fins both are too damaged, he's losing balance and he has a small, round thing sticking out of his belly.
I know that it's too late for him to survive and it's really sad cause he was my first fancy guppy. But I'd like to know what is causing him death, and why was it that he and other males looked healthy and fine in main tank but moving them had made them worse in shape?
