I feel like I'm posting too often on here trying so hard to get everything right with regular w/c and sand cleaning, ammonia nitrite are zero, nitrate is at 15 so I'm about to change 50%...
I lost a guppy last week with no visible symptoms other than lying on the bottom till if died soon after. The last couple of days another guppy is showing these tiny red spots they almost look stuck on, they are 3D, and today whilst he's at the top and swimming looks weak.. He also looks like he's got something stuck to his tail? All my other guppies appear normal.
Please help.
Whilst I know they are "just" fish, I feel a horrendous sense of responsibility not to let them suffer with them being my responsibility
Edit to add he's not had any ammonia exposure I'm aware of, I test pretty much daily and the only increase was when he moved to this tank and it had a mini cycle which I used Prime every day with large water changes. It never got high still and Prime was added.
