Now, I'm at another house for certain reasons, so I don't have constant access to the tank. After checking back up on it, it's a mess.
It seems my tank has taken a turn for the worst. After a week's treatment of Melafix and observation, I finally had to put down Banner the guppy (and I hope I never have to do anything like it again).
Banner's eye was now nearly all black, and he seemed to swell even more. His black eye looked as though it was going to fall out of his head at any second. He also had fin rot.
My breeder box, who contained only Lefty the guppy fry when I left, now contained upwards of 30 babies. My dad was at a loss (he has been feeding and medicating my tank. I showed him how to do all of it) because he said that only the one fish was in there. My fry have never been able to squeeze into the gaps. Some of the fry also has fin rot.
I can't take my guppies back because they're in a diseased tank. There's far too many fry in there. The other magical fry probably won't be eaten at a quick enough rate, and I don't want to put them in my unaffected 3 gallon. The water is cloudy, but this could be because the water change is about 2 days late. However, the other people living in the household could have put something in my tank for spite.
Melafix doesn't seem to do anything... I'm confused on how to handle the situation. Please help me out! I don't want to lose any more of them. D:
Thanks!
