Hello,
I have had loads of guppy and swordtail fry over the past few months recently swordtail fry was close to 40+ noticed that they were dwindling. I had them in a 15G tank with sand substrate and a few live plants and bogwood. So decided to move them to my 3G tank which has been running for over 3mths and produced some healthy guppy fry. Over the past few days I noticed 1-2 dying every morning I only have 6 left there are also 15 guppys in there all seemingly doing well. After 3weeks I move them back to the 15G tank they are the only fish that occupy the tank.
Puzzled by the cause of death to the swordtails.
The 3g has small internal filter which is good enought for 60l
Stats are all good
Amm - 0
PH - 7
Nit - 0
Don't know if this could be a cause but the female parent of the babys Had what I belive to be some kind of fin rot, which was not treated quick enough (bought fish, next day it had pretty bad rot tried melafix but it died)
Is it possible the fry could be carrying some sort of disease and will not Live?
