I posted about a month ago about a fungus that killed 2 Harlequin Rasboras. Since then, everything went smooth. last friday i went to the LFS and bought a Guppy and 3 Rasboras. sadly the Guppy died the next day, as well as one of the Rasboras. Since then however, one of my Guppies that had been suffering from fin rot started to get worst again (it had gotten better). Today when i woke up both Guppies, including one that looked perfectly healthy, were acting lethargic and sitting at the bottom of the tank. When i hit the glass they got up and moved, and when i fed them they started swimming around and eating. I had been dosing Tetracycline for the past 2 days before that to cure any internal parasite the sick guppy had. The Guppies arent displaying any symptoms besides acting lethargic, and the one guppy with tail rot. The Harlequins have been acting normal as well. What could possibly be sickening them?
