I woke up this morning to find one of my female guppies all on her own, swimming at the bottom of the tank. She doesn't really ever move and has some strange bubble like growth on her side. I have pictures. I am obviously worried for her, but more so for her tank mates.

Personally i would get her out of the tank and end her suffering. Guppies as soon as they get ill very rarely recover. I would try to ensure that the rest of the tank is ok and that means moving her, then so be it
 
That bubble has now turned brown, and is bulging out slightly more now.

She is in a hospital tank and being treated with some 5-1 disease safe.
 
I went out to buy a fish tank and on my return she is at the bottom of the emergency tank with something nasty thats popped out of her side.. where that bubble like growth was. Poor girl.
