Guppy Dieing

[CamG369]

Pretty looking fish.

You will know if it’s breathing fast, if it seems to be ‘Gasping’ for another breath. And if every time it breaths, it’s whole body moves.

Ok, I would say it is breathing heavier than it should in that case although not at the extent its whole body moves. It seems to be deliberately swimming up to the intake at this point

 

[CamG369]

Just to note if I move my filter intake it does manage to swim off it so it's not necessarily pinned to it

Are the blood worms you use freeze dried?

Yeah they are I buy them as frozen cubes

If they are actually freeze dried they are very fatty. This can be bad for fish if they are fed this on a regular basis.

Ah ok, no they're just frozen blocks. This is how the guppy was sat just a couple of minutes ago

He dosent look too good. @Colin_T may be able to help.

This may have been mentioned above but I am too lazy to look
Do a 75% water change with dechlorinate water every day for two weeks

Would so many water changes at that volume not have a negative effect?

It shouldn't.

add salt like I mentioned in post #13.

 

[CamG369]

Ok, will do. I have uploaded two videos, one is vertical but is still easy to see

Just to update, the guppy died today. Thanks for all the advice
