I hope someone can help me. One of my guppies died yesterday--he looked fine, and then the next time I looked he was gone. Today, another guppy almost looks like his body is sagging a bit, and his orange tail is now a quarter black. I did a water change, checked all water parameters and they...

I have been changing the water everyday and he perks up, but he still has black throughout his body and is listless. Is there anything else I might do?

Hi there, Not sure what is wrong. I have one male guppy in a 3 gallon tank. Today I noticed that he was real lethargic, didn't want to eat and his tail had a concentrated area of black, as did his fin. I checked the ammonia and nitrate/nitrate, and pH, all were normal. I did a water change...

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it!

Hi there, I have a small 5 gallon tank. I have had 1 lone guppy in there for a few months now. I have wanted to add some more guppies, but I did not have time before now. I am wondering if it is a good idea to add more at this point. I know guppies are peaceful fish, but if this one has...

Thanks for the advice. Just wondering, why should I put a pinch of food in the tank if I wait a week to buy more fish?

So, if I get an aerator, and do nothing else, it should be OK to introduce new fish into the tank?

Well, unfortunately, the other fish died last night. So my next question is, if I want to get new fish, what should I do first? I don't want the same thing to happen. The tank was fully cycled a few months ago. I don't think it is New Tank Syndrome, and the ammonia levels never indicated any...

Another one just died. I don't know what is wrong, I don't know how to fix it. Does anone have any suggestions? Thanks for the help! :(

The ammonia id 0 ppm and the nitrate was about 40 ppm and the nitrite 0 ppm. I don't have any aeration (airstones, etc) in there. Thanks!

Hi there, When I woke up yesterday, one of my guppies had died. I have three of them, that's all that is in my tank. The one one died wasn't swimming around as much as usual, and it was the normal day to do a water change, so I changed 25% of the water. I change the water once a week. After...

Thank you all for your replies. This has been very helpful!

I have had a few guppies in the past, and had a such an enjoyable experience with them. I decided to start a new tank, and just put three new male guppies in the tank. There are no other fish in there. I just walked back to the tank, and noticed that one of guppy's tail has a piece missing...
