Problem With My Male Guppy.

okay I got a guppy yesterday day and quarantine him a he looked fine at first he was at the top for all day and he was eating and then the next day see him moving more but he would hold still for a period of time and then later I checked up on him again he started swimming sideways. Idk what’s going on with him is he dying? Does he have a bladder infection what’s happening someone help me out this. Idk if he’s gonna last any longer and one more thing his fins were a bit nipped but I know he got that from the tank he was in at the store there was other male guppies with him.

 

has he got white fluffy spots on him and are his fins frayed if so it could be calamanaris or it could be bloat

 

Okay he’s not bloated at all and no there isn’t anything on him it’s just that he’s not swimming well he swims sideways and like twirls and he can swim straight that’s all.

 

Has nothing on him no Lesions or wounds etc he is just not swimming right and just staying on the bottom he wasn’t doing that till recently like he was swimming right then All of a sudden he started swimming like that. So I’m assuming it has to be a bladder disease. Because looking at him psychologically he’s fine just his end fin is just a bit nipped but that’s how my parents got him they missed that.

 

If he is also gasping, it is a water issue--too warm or one of your parameters is not right.
If he is just swimming a little funny and resting, odds are he was just very stressed being netted and transported, and needs some time to recover. Fish often take 24-hrs or a little longer to recover from that, especially if they are isolated.

From what you say, his tank at the store was pretty stressful too, so he might just be exhausted. Hope all it takes is some time to recover.

Okay thank you because I was worried he had something wrong with him because he was g eating or anything but he was doing when I released him into a tank but it was just yesterday he started swimming like that all of a sudden. I did do a good water change on Saturday but I’ll test it again right now.

Doesn’t matter now the guppy passed away yesterday. I couldn’t do anything about that.

Oh, I'm so sorry I doubt there is anything you could have done since it happened so fast He may have had health problems to begin with, if he was being bullied in the store aquarium :/

Out of curiousity, you said you were going to measure your water again. What were those readings?

It wasn’t my tank that’s for sure which I already knew it wasn’t but he had to been from all the Trauma and stress he experiences in the store aquarium he was with some males apparently and odd enough I happen to go to the store the next day and I happen to look where we got the guppy and I did see one of them dead so maybe there was something wrong with that tank. But I think it was a personal problem the guppy had it all happen so fast I couldn’t do anything about it but it happens that’s a price that you pay in this hobby I’ll wait till I can get another. And what I tested everything was good ammonia nitrites nitrates at 0 and it was in the ph range the guppy can handle so it was something else that killed him.

 

I am sorry mate its not fun to loose fish

 

Ik but it happens You can't safe every pet but at least try to help as much as you can. It just happen so fast I couldn’t do anything. It was kinda young too which was sad at least it won’t suffer anymore I’ll wait till I can get another guppy hopefully that doesn’t happen again.

 

Thanks for the help appreciate it.

 

your welcome mate best off luck
