do they have an airstone, or a waterfall from an HOB? it could be they don't have a lot of oxygen. how long have you had them? quarantining them would be a good idea. can I get a picture?

they are very pretty, what kind are they?

when in doubt, add some hardness to the water. guppys love hard water, meaning there is lots of calcium and minerals in the water. if you are not sure if your water is optimal, you can always add a wondershell, those turtle calcium block things, or anything that can supply a little calcium. if they came from a big box store, or really any fish store, they could be in distress. do they eat?
