I knows te reason she is hiding and swimming. She got some swimming issues and can swim on her own. Maybe its swim bladder issues? Can I save her?
I have a peacock cichlid with the same issue , it’s 10 months and only one inch but it doing well. All it’s siblings were 3.5” when I sold them last month
Maybe it somehing with her swim bladder? What can I do? I’m really worried about her.
Maybe. Try feeding a plant-based flake food or some mashed peas, that might help. It could be stress-related, although swim bladder issues caused solely by stress are pretty rare. If it is it may correct in a couple of days. It could also be an infection caused by the stress of moving, which might require meds. This last is what I figure is most likely.
Hard to tell for sure what's going on, especially on such a small fish. I'd try the food for a few days and if it hasn't corrected you'll have to decide if you want to spend the time and resources to try to save it.

I could move it to my fighters tank, he should accept her as in his tank I use artemiss for fungus bacteria infections so i could do that as well. I hope it is stress realated and nothing more than that. I move her to my breeding box and i may try mashed peas tomorow to see if it helps.

And if you want to put the time into saving it, I’d get a cheap 3g plastic tank for it to have to itself so it’s not competing for food. If it grows big enough then put it in you main tank.
With getting another tank will be a problem... can no get it anywehere close to me and fast. I could use the trap box to feed her? Poor wee guppie
I think the box will work, I raised a stray fry I found in one, maybe put a couple floating leaves for cover and keep it off to the side out of direct lightWith getting another tank will be a problem... can no get it anywehere close to me and fast.
