sick guppy

I've had this tank of 7 male guppies since March. They are doing really well. Today I noticed that the black guppy has a huge abdomen. He is acting completely normal. I look at them every day and have not noticed him getting larger. Is there something wrong with him, or is he actually a she...

Hello! I recently adopted a few female guppies. One of them, Cephia, is dealing with some fungus around her mouth. She is in a 1-gal hospital tank being treated with Kanaplex. Today is the 4th day. I gave the second dose yesterday. Yesterday she was looking great, back to eating, swimming...

For my very first aquarium I decided to start with guppies, I got a beautiful blue female who I named Azura, and she was always so strong and active. She has had about 4 or 5 pregnancies so far, but lately she started acting oddly, losing a lot of weight and being less active, usually staying at...

Hello, I’m freaking out. I have plenty of guppies and they live well, but just tonight I noticed one of my guppies has this ball like thing hanging by their stomach/rectum. I’m freaking out. What is this? What could have caused this? What do I do? PLEASE HELP.

I'm sorry if this isn't much of an emergency, but my male guppy won't eat, and now isn't swimming with the female guppies. Please direct me to the right posting area if this is wrong. 10 gallon tank Heated to 80 F Filtered Water change every weekend (20 percent) Tankmates: betta fish, two...

One of my guppies seems to have distanced himself from the others about two weeks ago. I didn't really think anything of it, but hes always in one corner, in his own little world. He is still eating and looks healthy?

So I’ve taken a look at my aquarium of guppies which live with a turtle btw, and I have noticed a weird adult guppy facing downwards. I googled why’s that, and it kind of told me that my fish might fave fish tuberculosis. But i’m not sure. She’s somewhere about 1 year old. Please help me, tell...

Been keeping an eye for a few days and I'm unsure if I should treat for dropsy with medication or.... Euthanize? Never seen swelling like this but she was eating and swimming fine until just this afternoon, now she is facing down..... The photo of the orange tailed guppy in plain background is...

Hi, one of my guppies began hiding a lot, I am quite new to fishkeeping (only a few months in) so not sure about how to figure out what is wrong with him. He spends all day hiding at the bottom of the tanks and seems to be struggling more to swim this morning. My local aquariust suggested using...

Please can someone help, my guppy is around three months old. He was born to one of my female guppies so I had him since birth. These last few days I noticed he was staying by himself and not interacting with the other fish. I also noticed he has a swollen belly so I wondered if he was...

Hi guys! So just over 5 weeks ago I moved a guppy that had a pot belly and a tetra that had pine coned scales into a quarantine tank. The tetra passed a few days later but the guppy is acting completely normal, eating still etc. He just has a bit of a belly. I’ve treated the tanks for internal...

Hello, I have had this 10 gallon tank for about 9 months now, and in the past few weeks, I have lost a higher than normal number of guppies. I have tested the water several times and have 0ppm of ammonia, nitrite, and ~20 ppm of nitrates. I have lost around 3 or 4 in the past two weeks and none...

So today I just noticed a red thing coming out of my guppy’s stomach. I didn’t notice it yesterday and he wasn’t acting weird that I noticed. He is swimming today but seems skittish.

Hello I am fairly new to this forum, I am now a owner of four male guppies. They live in a 6.7 gallon tank and unfortunately I feel like it’s my fault for not noticing that when I brought my three new fish to add to the tank one of them was acting odd. I’m talking about swimming by the filter...

Greetings from Amsterdam Fish community! This is my first post on this forum so hopefully it goes well! since one or two days one of my guppy is swimming upright with his head up and his tail down he seems to be struggling to stay afloat and moves rather slowly, sometimes he also hides in his...

hi all, i need some help with my female guppy. I’ve had the 3 of them for almost a year now and my one orange guppy has suddenly gotten fat and started having stringy poops. I thought I was over feeding so I cut down on the amount I was giving them but she didn’t lose weight. this started a few...

Hi, I have 3 guppies in my tank. It's fairly heavily planted low tech tank. I've had all of them for about a month. I did cycle the tank fist and my numbers are pretty much always 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 0 nitrate (I believe the plants are consuming all the nitrates generated by the fish). I...

Over the past month, my old guppy Max has been constantly sick. Last week he had parasites, which I took care of and he recovered from. Today, however, I woke up to half of his tail missing. After looking closer, I found out that the tip is black and between the black and the orange (normal...

This morning I woke up and went to feed my 20 gal high tropical aquarium when I noticed my male fancy guppy, who had been completely fine yesterday, wad laying at the bottom of the tank. I see nothing visibly new with him. He seems completely, one hundred percent healthy except for the fact that...
