Guppy sucked into filter intake

[Tacocat]

I have a 5 gal tank with a pair of guppies that have bred. However, I have noticed that the female is being lethargic and is being slow and not very strong. Today I noticed her resting against the plastic bars that lead to the filter intake. I also noticed her swimming being crooked. Is she old and dying or is there a disease?


Test results:

AMMONIA: 0ish
NITRITE: 0

All other tank inhabitants are acting normally, except the cherries who are in breeding fever and zipping around the tank.

It does no good to start a new thread when you have an older one with more details

No problem, it's just not productive to start a new thread when we have your tank history on another....general rule

Ok well then here's more information and history

5 gallon Fluval Spec V

Two pieces of bad news ☹️ 1. Two of my test kit test tubes smashed, so I'll have to find replacements 2. My parents are cracking down on the kimchi jars in the house(my brother keeps spiders in them), so they're trying to make me put all the fry back into the main tank
