Hi Wane1680 welcome to fishlore

Sorry to hear your guppy isn't feeling very well.

I went back over your other posts, it did sounds like you put your aquarium together in a hurry. This now means you have to cycle your tank with fish in it, which can be very hard and yes, it can stress your fish. So, you've started your tank in late March? It can take up to 10 weeks to develop a well cycled tank sometimes.

So what to do about your little guppy? You might want to do water changes more regularly to decrease ammonia. There's probably more you can try, but you'll have to wait for the advice of others.

 

As meenu said your tank is not cycled, trust me we have all been down (some still going down) this road.

Try reading the cycle guide for better understanding here: https://www.fishlore.com/NitrogenCycle.htm

It might take a few look overs till it starts to make sense.

Good Luck!

 

thanks for all the replies they have been a great help but sadly she was at the top when i came home this evening
