    Guppies dropping like flies - please help!

    Sorry for the late reply! I put in two tablespoons, and my tank is 60 litres. I went to my local fish store and the employee was just as stumped as I was, we suspect atm is maybe too much oxygen in the water as the airstone is on full, but I'm not sure. Unfortunately one guppy has already died...

    Thank you, I'll get on the water changes asap. The tank already has an airstone and the healthy fish seem like they're breathing okay, but would another one be needed? The sick fish have very red gills and are struggling with breathing and they almost look extended.

    I believe mostly is, it was a bit of a emergency set up but its been two weeks without issue, and I check daily. No Ammonia spikes at all have been detected, no Nitrite spikes and nitrates present. I moved everyone into a bigger tank as this was a rescue job, with their old filter and plants.

    I noticed one of my guppies swimming weirdly, in a downward spiral and unable to keep itself upright. It's gills were also horribly red and inflamed. A few minutes later, after I took the fish out, another has fallen ill also. All tank parameters are in the ideal range, 0ppm Ammonia, 0ppm...
