Last time I buy locally! I just gave about 10 guppies to a friend and purchased 3 new ones right after. my tank had been normal and healthy since I set it up about 7 months ago. Well one of the three fish I bought started looking rough three days after I got him. I put him in a breeder box so the other fish wouldn't pick on him. A couple days later I treated him with melafix. Over a weeks time his fins and tail rotted away completely. He still managed to eat and tried to act normal. It got a little too sad so we ended up ending it for him. I noticed one of my females seemed to be getting chewed on. She only lived 2 more days. Then I noticed another female with a curved spine. She started shimmying. All the fish, especially the new ones, rub their gills on everything. The fish seem to start out looking like their fins are being chewed on (I haven't seen and foul play) and then their scales look like they're peeling. They're not raised bristly though. A couple others seem to have a little shimmy, but the one female is very noticeable. They are clamping their tails. Strange part is the only symptoms that the two new females left are experiencing is the itching. The water Params are normal, I cranked the heat up. It's a small 10 gallon. I've been doing 50% changes daily for a few days and started adding salt.
