Hi my brothers guppy(that I mainly look after)has been acting weird he would just hide at the bottom of the tank for hours then if you move what he's hiding under he'll start swimming then swimming round in tight circles multiple times in a row then find another hiding place,his colours also look duller then usual. Recently another fish has passed away in the tank, but he was not spinning or doing the same behaviors he just lay at the bottom of the tank and then then unfortunately passed away.I wonder whether he's stressed as it looks as if hes being picked on by the largest guppy a bit as the largest one is nipping his fins a bit but not loads.Do you know why?
