Hello
Can anyone visually identify what is wrong with this guppy? I’ve had 5 guppies die now over a number of weeks, no apparent symptoms. The others died suddenly (lethargy over 24-48hrs then dead) though this one has been at the surface for a couple of weeks more and more (plenty of aeration and the other fish aren’t at the surface) until clearly dying today so I have just euthanised :’-(
It is a fairly new tank (3 months old tank 3 months in this tank) and I’ve had this guppy 3 months and didn’t quarantine (didn’t really know about quarantine until recently).
Water conditions are kept well (no ammonia nitrites, nitrates kept around 10) PH 7.4. I had tried salt for 3 weeks though low dose due to having cories. I was about to try a higher strength salt bath and had just prepped it when I found him struggling more.
The only other fish with an issue as I can tell is a molly who has been flashing for weeks and I can’t work out why. No others flash at all.
I just thought I ought to try posting a photo in case there is anything obvious that you might see that I haven’t. - if you’re wandering what the oily water is it is the clove oil I was starting to add
Thank you.
