Hi everyone and thank you so much for your help already!
I need help with my guppies.
I have a 240l tank with a huge group of guppies who have been living and breeding with me for over a year In a ca. 60l tank. The tank also houses 10 corydoras (8 of them come from the same 60 l tank before and are with me for around a year as well)
I upgraded them to their new tank ca 2 months ago, the tank had cycled in, was well planted at the time and is running a canister filter from Sera for up to 300 L as well as a co2 pump.
I decreased the temperature from 25° Celsius (77°F) to 23° (73F) as I read that that's a better temp for the Cory's.
Everything seemed to be fine and then I got 3 new guppies and 2 new Cory's and made thr mistake to not quarantine them properly. I got them around 4 weeks ago and just a couple of days later my issues started.
First one of the new guppies was very often lying on the floor kf the tank but when he was swimming he looked fine, ate well and I couldn't see signs of spots or vinrot or anything else.
The behavior continued for a couple of days and some of the other guppies seemed to not swim as much and as fast anymore as before so I started treating the tank with esh2000 (a general medicine against bacteria, vinrot and some other things). I treated the tank as per description for 3 days. The last day of that was 4 days ago. The next day - 3 more guppies looked sick, are swimming slow and their tail Vin looks weird, like not really rotten or such, but as if they were like tucking it in - its super thin and not like a fan anymore but just small and thin and wrong. I had quarantine tank setup - I know that was a big mistake I am cycling one in now but I don't think I can put the guppies over within the next weeks as it's completely fresh. I found one guppy dead this morning - one of the 3 new ones and more and more others are looking bad. Does anyone have any idea what I could do / has experienced anything similar ?
I am getting another medicine for vin rot today as thats the only thing I can think of that looks a bit similar. I have also raised the temp to 25° Celsius again and am hoping that could help.
Sorry for the super long post and thank you so much for anyone who has any idea/ tips / experiences to share
I tried to make pictures, but my camera won't focus on the guppies. This is the one where i can see the symptoms worst in real life.
