Guppy Female dead :(

[Guppy04]

One of my Guppy Females always stays to one corner of the tank, is there a reason for that? I don't think she's eating much either.

Help!!

How long have you had this fish? What are the tank Parameters for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate and what are the tank mates of the fish. Keep us posted

I got the fish on Saturday. I have 1 Male Guppy, 3 Female Guppies and 3 Neon Tetra. They are all in a 10 Gallon tank, it's just that one Female that like to stay in that top cornor.

You still haven't mentioned the water parameters. That is the most important info.

edit: Oh yeah, sudden thought. Is she pregnant?

P.T.

I would think then that its one of a couple of things. first being a female guppy i would go along with Phantom Thief here and guess that she is probably very pregnant and may be about to have babies. Second she has not yet acclimated to the tank and is just trying to settle in and get to know the routine of the tank. So is she pregnant?

 

[Guppy04]

I don't know what the parameters are because the person who set it up said everything is good to go. But I guess I should start checking the parameters. If she was pregnant why would she be at the top, shouldn't she be at the bottom.

Not necessarily, fish go wherever they feel comfortable when pregnant. I have 5 female platties and some go to the top and some go to the bottom just before having the fry. But is she pregnant? does she look like this?

 

[Guppy04]

she definitely doesn't look like that picture. So I don't think she's preganant.

 

[!guppy!]

stress, give her time...

Just thought I'd share my bad news, I lost one of the female guppies (different from the one I was complaining about before) it had blood marks across it's body and the Neon one did lost it's tale and had a white mark at the tip of the tale. I feel bad for the Neon one, should I take them both back to the store? I checked the PH of the water and it was between 6.8 and 7.0.
