It is. I just had that happen to my guppies and it’s had rly bad impacts. I’d suggest buying some aquarium salts and some medication.

It had been in the tank for a week it’s now been taken out in fear of it having a disease, which proved to quickly kill the other guppies over night. He’s shown none of the other signs the guppies did, Eg no white poop so I’m wondering how long as. A precaution should I take before putting him...

If it is internal parasite etc, how long before I will know iff the guppy has had it

Hey guys, as some of you may know yesterday was the worst day by far for me keeping fish with 2 of my guppies dying of what seemed like dropsy or internal parasites. The last remaining guppy I took out the tank as a precaution, despite it showing no signs and putting it in a 5 gallon bucket with...

Okay perfect- having done more research it seems to be internal parasite? Does this change anything

Is dropsy able to spread?

One of the guppies scales are falling off so I’d say yes

The danios and corys in the tank look completely normal. All guppies are out the tanks. Is there any chance of the other fish within the tank being infected such as the danios and corys

They did have white stringy poop. It’s definitely dropsy. I’ve taken the last guppy out of the tank. What will happen to the fish in the tank that weren’t guppies? And what should I do with them

Does anyone know what may have happened

3 of the guppies I have have all died and the last is a male. I pulled him out immediately and it looks like he is missing some scales now

Went from an amazing day with babies yesterday to today finding female guppies with what seems like could be dropsy and dead :(( I’m now terrified all the other fish in the tank are gonna die

No. I read that dropsy caused by bacterial infection can be highly infectious. I added in almond leaves. Is there anyway anything to do with these leaves could impact the fish?

They did have swollen bellies

I’m almost certain now it’s dropsy :((

I think it’s swim bladder disease. The vertical swimming the holding itself in the reeds of the floating plants all suggest to me that it must be, but 2 of the guppies I bought had it

They looked like they were floating, they couldn’t swim properly and they seemed to die very quickly. I’m wondering if it’s swim bladder disease

Update: both guppies are dead- I’m so scared what has happened! The other two seem fine all parameters are fine what on earth had happened

Hey guys I did a water change this morning and previously had 4 guppies in my community tank. Water parameters are 0ppm nitrite and ammonia and 5ppm nitrate. I can’t fjnd one guppy now and the other is acting incredibly erratically. He’s swimming at an angle and very weak before starting to the...

They’re so underrated- I’m shocked they gave birth as well- and from last count I’ve got 18 little fry, if even 12 make it to adulthood I’m going to have to give a couple away to friends etc! I was told by this forum to increase numbers by at least 4 so now I can do that easily!

That’s what I thought but I’ve got loads of snails now ugh may have to hire the old assassin

I do agree

I said it as in they had babies

I’ve got same problem I thought they can only lay in saltwater

They’ve seen them and then go for them but the danio are lightning fast

80 litre is around a 22 gallon- he’s not overloaded yet a BN pleco is suffice in 22-25gallon the gallon he used was UK not US

I don’t have a spare tank otherwise I would! I may leave the fish instead of putting in box in fear of stress. They’re so quick danios I’ve seen the guppies unable to catch them when moving towards them so hopefully should be fine

Thanks! I’ve got hornwort in the tank and loads of hiding spaces! Probably why the danio eggs weren’t eaten by plecos or corys! I’ve counted 18 fry which I think is an absolute triumph! I’m feeding them baby bring some baby fish food crushed tropical flakes which is going into the whole tank

Perfect, they have mainly stayed around the top of the tank, whilst most of my fish are bottom dwellers. Being danios they are also by far the quickest fish in the tank. I’ve boight baby food and will also feed baby brine shrimp etc into the tank

There are other fish in the tank only because I never expected egg laying fish to give birth! I’ve moved over thick floating plants and have a breeder box ready although I’m unsure where to place it in the tank, how to move the fry into it without stressing them etc etc

Hey guys, Today I was watching my tank when I saw a tiny little glowlight danio fry in my tank! I was shocked to see what it as I had no idea how to breed them nor did I do anything to try to! I then investigated the tank to find 4 or 5 others in the tank as well! To say I’m underprepared would...

Thanks you! I’m almost certain surface disturbance shouldn’t be an issue-I have a spray bar starched because I have a BN pleco I was wary of needing high oxygenation so I have a significant amount of surface disturbance

Hey guys, i recently adopted a guppy which had been kept in an al male guppy tank previously at the LFS with a fin nipped tail. You can see the edges have been bitten so by putting him as the only male I’m hoping he will be much happier with 3 female guppies. Apart from keeping the water very...

The tail seems mainly intact suggesting it’s not fin nipping- I adopted a male which had a bit of a torn tail and the edges are much more uneven than that. I’d suggest you will be advised to medicate- to me looks like fun rot but I’m far from an expert
