One of my guppies, whos about 5 months old is sick...
Her dorsal fin and tail folded, the right side of her mouth seems like it wants to close, but cant, and the parts of her pectoral fins are white (insted of clear) at the part closer to her body. She swims weirldly; she just kind of moves her body from side to side, like she cant use her fins (even though her pectoral fins are moving normally).
Does anyone know what she has/ what i should do??

Edit: Her eye is also weird, the top has some white on it. Its not fluffy or anything, it kind of looks like her normal coloring, except that its above her eye.

If you can issolate the fish you need to use anti internal bacteria med, also can you post water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, what size tank, which fish, and which type.
 
Nitrite- 0 Ammonia- 0

Ten Gallon
Guppy

I can isolate the fish, but i dont have any medications.
 
Nope, i dont have any type of medication at all.
I dont have aquarium salt, either, will normal salt work??
 
OK, thanks, Wilder.
I put her in a container thats about 1 gallon with some salt.
 
Her fins arent folded down/together anymore, but her eye and pectoral fins are the same... Shes swimming better now, though...
 
Keep us all updated with her progress, good luck.
 
Well, here fins are folded again. :-(
And theres a white spot on her mouth :-( and seh still cant close it.
The white parts on here fins still didnt go away. :-(
Shes swimming weirdly again. :-(
 
You will need an antibiotic treatment for her, if the mouth is fluffy it's mouth fungus clolumnaris, you will have to get a med or she will die, also do some salt baths on her.
 
She un clamped her fins now...
The white spot on her mouth isnt fluffy, its more like an spot from ich.
Ill try to get some medication for her...
 
Whitespot are bacterial so you will need a bacteria med, good luck.
