i have 4 female guppies i bought yesterday for my males but one of them has there mouth constantly open and swimming near the top. its mouth is a kinda white colour. Could she be pregnant and about to give birth?

i have 2 male guppies, 2 black widow tetras and 3 tetra neon in the tank along with 2 cherry shrimp and 2 ghost shrimp.

Cheers
 
How many gallons or litres is the tank.
What are your water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

Does the mouth look bleached out.
Does the mouth have fluffy cotton wool growths on it, or cotton strands coming from the mouth.
Does the mouth look swollen.
Any redness to the mouth.
Is the mouth rotting away.

i have already explainec the problem, i just wanted to a rough idea what was wrong but it doesnt matter as everyone on this site is obsessed with the size of tank. i posted in the emgergency room because it was an emergency!!!!!!!!!
 
Water stats are very important. It the first thing to look at when fish are sick.

It sounds like your fish has columnaris. False name mouth fungus.
 
too late now as when i got home the fish was dead, couldnt do stats as i was on the go and was hoping to get some treatment while i was out with the help of you guys.

nm thanks anyway

Just preform to water changes on your tank.
