I have two fan-tailed guppies who are usually the life and soul in my tank rushing around like crazy and always first when the nightly feed happens.
This morning I've noticed the smaller of the two appears quite bloated and isn't swimming around that much, just staying on the same spot in the middle of the tank. He is also opening and closing his mouth quite a bit. I can't see anything else on his body in terms of mould, raised scales, or any other symptoms.
All the tank levels are fine and the last 25% water change was yesterday. None of the other 6 fish are showing any signs of problems (tank is a 60 litre by the way.)
Could this just be obesity or something else. Constipation maybe? I was going to hold off on feeding them this evening. Good course of action do you think?
Any help much appreciated.
TT.
