What are your water parameters? ph, GH, KH, etc. You can find these on your local water providers website. Also, what are your Ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite readings?

Is the guppy sinking to the bottom? Is the tank cycled?

Yes it was cycled and they’ve been in the tank for 3 months now and have seemed fine

Do you not have a test kit? (For Ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite?)

No

1 month

Might not be enough.

No

Are you able to get the strips at least?

 

[Aurelia.Soothill]

No

Do you think it could be a pregnant female?

Well as it’s lockdown not immediately... I got my water tested at fish alive just before lockdown and they said it was fine?

Guppy is not sinking just lying at the bottom of the tank and opening and closing it’s mouth and flapping its Finns

Something might be wrong with your water parameters then.
Did you acclimate them?
