Hello whoever responds!!!
I have a guppy that has decided to lay at the bottom of the tank. It has a swollen looking abdomen. I have had the water conditions near perfect for a while now and before it was ever in there. It was fine for the first 2 weeks.
I have only had a fish tank for about a month now. It doesn't hace a pine cone look so i dont think its dropsy. I read a website that told me it might have indigestion and to seperate it and soak it in epson salts??? Is this accurate or will I kill my fish.
Any suggestions will help.
Thank you
Oh, I also looked for the "Gravid spot" sry not sure, and I don't see one. Its a little hard to tell because the back end of the fish is dark.
 
Uh FYI That kissing gourami you have needs to go somewhere suitable. They get huge, way too big for a 10G Even By it self. Just a Heads up...
 
It sounds like your tank is cycled so I am guessing that it is just pregnant. If you want a more accurate answer you can always post a pic. BTW Welcome!!
