It should say on the medication, but I would probably keep her until she looks normal again. Also your guppies look like they could be pregnant, do you have any males? Might just be the angle of the photo

Usually the earliest you can begin to sex them is at a month

That is such a beautiful betta! Jealous lol

I agree with Circus, she looks pregnant.

A while ago one of my guppies got clamped fins from ammonia poisoning but this seems unlikely here, what about stress? Have you seen any bullying or made any changes to the tank lately?

*DRAMATIC GASP* WHAT THE HECK?!?! I have five absolutely beautiful male guppies, gorgeous colours, no signs of aggression, always playing together, relatively easy to take care of, the only thing is that they DO poop a fair amount but you can't blame them for that! I mean, come on! This is just...

Okay, here goes... goldfish are ugly. And blood parrot cichlids. And catfish. Sorry!

I'm so sorry to hear about Queen. I never used to understand when people got emotional about fish. I used to think, they're just fish. You can't stroke them. You can't take them on walks. What's the point? But oh, how wrong I was! Only once I got some guppies myself I realised, those things...

She looks ready to pop! Looks pregnant to me, that or she is very fat lol

At the very start of my guppy keeping period, I was very under-researched and my water levels were awful, killing my six guppies; very scary as I did not know what was wrong, they just kept dying. Most of mine passed away in the night so I didn't see it happen, but one of them kept resting on...

Also, three neon tetras? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but aren't they meant to be in groups of at least 6?

Lovely fish! Definitely male

If it IS still there then maybe look into anchor worms? ...but it could just be a very chunky poop lol

I really wouldn't risk the health of your guppies, even if he turns out to be a 'peaceful' betta the guppies will still probably be stressed. The size of the betta tanks in some fish shops is horrific, I completely agree with you. In my opinion the best thing you can do in the future is - if it...

Looks fungal possibly, I agree with Colin salt is a good idea :)

Glad to have you! I have five male guppies and a red retriever cross :)

Definitely female

Fish swimming at the top is often an indication of poorly filtered water or maybe a disease. It is always best to get fish from breeders if possible, but if you can't, then research the quality of shops nearby. It is always normal to lose or a fish or two at the beginning but having several...

You might want to consider adding some plants and places for him to hide, even if you do move the betta (which I really think you should do)

That's a lot of fish!

As long as they are all one gender that should be fine

If he is constipated then maybe try a boiled pea with the skin removed and mushed up, my boys go mad for it!

That is one large guppy! I have one fairly chunky one about an inch long, nothing like this though!

Look ready to pop! Hope it all goes well :)

What are you feeding him? Hope he improves :)

Yep looks like a female, I'd definitely recommend moving her if you don't want babies but it may be already too late for that, you may want to get a breeding tank for her just in case. Also I agree with Captain, guppies need lots of space to thrive and pet shops aren't always correct on their...

That is heartening, ty. I will carry on with treatment. It does look quite desperate so it is good to hear there is still some hope for him.

Hi there, hope someone can help. One of our guppies has swim bladder - showing the classic signs. We have followed the good advice we could find - - we stopped feeding him - put him in quarantine tank away from others (this is an established tank) - gave swim bladder treatment (have given day...

I have his number. We were away for a while recently and he popped in and announced the fish were STARVING! Luckily we were home the next day so I could do the tank. He has been warned . . .

Tank is cycled. We are about 2 months in to the fish adventure. Sure, rinse filter in removed tank water is what I meant :)

Thanks for that. I have heard they would be fine for a week, but think I might worry if I didn't have anyone popping in.

Quite agree. Flakes is way to go and I will be hiding rest of the food. My Dad is a notorious feeder of any animal he comes across and sometimes he pops in unannounced . . .

Hi there, We have 2 male guppies in a 25l tank (we are starting slow). We are away for 7 days soon. I have been doing a bit of research about the best way to keep the tank healthy in our absence (lots of great tips on here). My plan so far is: * Feed fish a little more than usual in the run...

We tried to run before we could walk. It is obvious looking back. Start with 2. Get your tank just right, then think about adding more. Our 2 survivors have been with us for a month so starting to feel confident . . . !

too too true.

We certainly made a school girl error going for the maximum number of fish into a new tank, and I now realise we only had 20% of the information we actually needed. I wish someone at the shop had said, just take 2, establish the tank and then come back for more. One daughter (10 years) has...

We have 2 guppy survivors in a 25 litre tank so I suspect our tank right now will look a little underwhelming! But we really hope to add to the school. We will be using a quarantine tank to make sure the new comers are fit and ready to join the main tank. I don't know if that is the usual...

HI there. We bought our first guppies approx 5 weeks ago and have been plunged into the wonderful world of fish keeping ever since. It has been a rollercoaster so far! We had no idea about how much should be considered and how much there is to know but are learning fast. It will be great to be...
