Guppy Disaster

[RauDawg86]

I have a 10 gallon tank and am fairly new at this hobby . I recently purchased 4 guppies this past week an i already lost 3. Lost the first 2 days after i got them, then second about 4 days after that, an today coming up on the one week mark i lost my 3rd. My fourth guppy that is still alive is a male, idk whats wrong but he keeps stayin in the corners of the tank and then moves violently toward the bottom of the tank and then straight back to the top. I saw this in my first guppy that i lost that one a female though, then 2nd guppy jus hung out in the coners until i saw him settle in the bottom of the tank an when i woke up he was dead, an last night my 3rd loss which was a fat female jus slumped around the bottom of the tank and when i came home 2day from school it was dead in the back corner of the tank. Please help me idk whats wrong with my fish, i have 0 ammonia in the tank an i have a ph of 7.2ish pleae help me i dont wanna lose this guy if its not 2 late . Also in the tank i have 4 hatchets an 2 neon tetras, an one small pleco. they have been in the tank since i first purchased it and they all are healthy, one hatchet caught "popeye" but he's over that now an are all healthy, aside from my one guppy that remains. PLEASE HELP

What is the nitrite reading? Nitrates? How long and how did you acclimate them? Filtration? Last time you did a WC? What do you mean your pH is 7.2ish? What did you use to test your ammonia? Need more info.

Yes definately need more information. When did you get the tank? I'm under the assumption it's been cycled? Wierd for the guppies to just die like that. IMHO water is the problem? But if the other fish have been there for a while like a month then IDK...

Had the tank for about 2.5 months, had no other true casualties until this batch of 4 guppies, the 4th is still alive but still seems spastic, the tank has cycled and i will b off to my LFS tonight to get my water tested again. thank you guys
