bump ..

I've had this batch of guppy fry for 2 weeks already, all perfectly fine. Starting a few days ago, I noticed a couple of them had clamped tails (or pintails, not sure what it's called... basically, their tails end in a sharp point, pretty much no tails at all). The next day, a few died with...

Don't think so ... he now has clear fin rot, with a part of his tail bleeding along the edges. :\

(created another forum, new dangerous topic :s ) Same guppy, I moved him to a hospital tank ... actually a large bowl... He has been acting increasingly lethargic, wriggling in one place.. great head movement from side to side .. Likes to either stay at the surface of the water in a corner, or...

Alright, I'll go out tomorrow for plants. I don't have an airstone. The guppy is now not moving at all. He's been wiggling in one spot behind the filter tube for half an hour. If he's still alive in the morning, it'd be a miracle. Jpappy, good to know. I'll follow those advice.

How long ago was your transaction with them? :\ It's also been over a week for me since I ordered + paid, and no news of shipping or anything. When I email them asking about shipping, they don't reply.

Okay, I lowered the power of the filter, and now he's constantly swimming at the surface of the water and taking breaths of air + eating bubbles. Something's wrong here, and how do I solve it? D:

The tank is 2 weeks old, using nutrafin cycle. I've been doing a water change of just that amount every day since guppy came home with me. It's a 10 gallon-- would water changing remove some of the bacteria supplement?

I've had him for 3 days and he never swam vigorously against the current until this afternoon. He had no trouble before today. He stays in front of the filter, and swims like that in one spot. Before today, he loved to swim all around the tank and along the glass (active). Now he only swims...

That's good to hear. I've read on some sites that swimming against the filter flow is a bad sign... but a sign of what?

I'm incredibly frustrated right now, because my mom refuses to buy an ammonia testing kit/strips/anything for my aquarium. She won't let me drive myself-- I just got my license a month ago. I have a single guppy in there at the moment. Starting this afternoon, I've seen him swimming vigorously...

Do these guppies have the beginnings of fin rot, or are these just nipped tails? And is fin rot contagious? The second guppy is mine.

Alright, got a good estimate. =) Thanks for replying guys. The image isnt of my guppy, just an image I found online and thought looked suspicious. :s

Does this guppy have inflamed/red gills? I'm trying to determine what the appearance of "inflamed" is. :s I'm getting a batch of moderately expensive blue-green deltas in 2~3 days, and I'm frantic to make sure my current guppy isn't sick. Is it natural to have some pink/red inside of the...

Question: Does this guppy have inflamed/red gills? I'm trying to determine what the appearance of "inflamed" is. :s Is it natural to have some pink/red inside of the gill when it opens, and some pink from an underside view of guppies?

Dang. I was hoping for the plants to arrive tomorrow or Wednesday, but it seems they did not even ship yet. Is it certain that I will receive an email with a tracking number if they ship?

I purchased a group of plants from them last Wednesday, but I haven't received any email saying that my order has even been shipped yet. :s What is your experience with them? How long does it normally take for the order to arrive?

Ah, I see! Thanks guys. (: <--inexperienced person is here I'm going to separate my male with a female from my Aquabid group in a different tank. :P I'd like to keep the blue-green guppies as "100% true" as possible.

I see-- thanks. :s Darn, almost 100%? Hmm..

I just bought a couple of blue-green deltas from a seller on aquabid. In the description of her guppies, she states "breed very close to 100% true" ... I'm wondering, what does this mean? and a random other question.. My male guppy that I brought home yesterday is very active-- swimming up...
