Ok, all the pet shops where i live are all closed untill tomorrow now so i will have to go and see if they have any on my lunch tomorow. Is it fin rot he has? Will he still be able to swim if he loses it before i can get the breeder trap?

You can also use a small clean (never seen soap) strainer or colander to separate the injured fish in the same tank. Since he'll be spending quite some time in there, the larger the better, to avoid adding more stress.

He looks like he has a bit of fin rot. As others have suggested, you should keep the water as clean as possible to help the fish fight off the infection. If the fin rot progresses further toward the body, you might have to consider antibiotics.

Ok, i did a WC and have tac in a beeder container, ive added some Stress Coat too. Is there anything else i can do for him?

kaystar

Just a quick catch up for you guys Tac is still not looking his best and if things couldnt get worse our filter packed up last night so its been a rush around to try and find a new one, but its in now and ive just done a water change and added all the nesessary treatments hes looking a little sad on his own in his breeder box float thingy but i do hope he pulls through

bolivianbaby

Give him fishy hugs for us and let him know we're pulling for him

Sending out lots of good vibes and wishes to Tac. He is a lovely color, what a cute face too!

I've had the experience of my male guppies eating the fins off of another male guppy (he ended up dying) because they formed a gang of sorts. Male Guppies have posed the biggest problem with bullying in my tanks...

hi dont know if you still need it but i managed to get prime int he uk ove ebay there is a guy in england that sells it.

kaystar

Thanks for the support everyone Ive got simular products to prime that do the same but if i do see it i will get it

kaystar

this is a sad post for me. I just went in to see tac and he wasnt doing very well, he was leaning to one side and didnt make it back up, i stayed with him till then end, hes buried in the garden now

Thank you everyone for your support i know tac wouldnt have lasted this long without your help

ray_sj

Oh Kay, I am so sorry about your little guy, I know he meant a lot to you. I hope I helped with him, good luck with the other two Kay.

Personally, I wouldn't add a third guppy for a while, just see how these two are doing for the moment.

RIP little buddy
