Guppy Emergency

[Jonny3shoes]

Hi all
I have a question to ask regarding my guppies. 2 of them are staying on the gravel at the bottom of the tank and not really moving much . They have been like that for a few days now and i would like to know if anyone knows why this is likely to be. Also one of them appears to be swollen which is weird.

I was told when i bought them that they were all males.
I have just tested the water and everything is 0 (nitrites, nitrates and ammonia) and the pH is 7.2



Cheers Jonny

It looks like a male from that pic, but it's hard to tell. Get more pics of all of your guppies. In the meantime, you can feed them a de-shelled pea. If it's too big for them, you can crush it a little with your fingers.

your nitrate is 0? is your tank cycled?

In the pic is a definite male. Have you cycled the filter? I can't see an illness on him but I would run a course for internal parasites and tonic salt.

sorry never meant to post this in here!!

Here are some more images.

I've treated them with tetra medica general tonic, and removed carbon from the filter.


This image shows the swelling.



This image shows how the guppies are staying at the bottom.



Thanks for any help.

I just found this link:

Could I be overfeeding them? Or is it something more serious?

Their scales are not sticking up.

Thanks again!
