Ok the tank now has 3 male guppies, 1 pleco, 4 female guppies. The water was treated for ick and fungus infections. biological filtration is still good. aquairum shop said amonia, nitrites and nitrates are good. no signs of infections or parasites have appeared on any of the fish. there is plenty of aeration. Water is changed at rate of 3 gallons per week.

it was treated weeks ago by use of jungle treatment tabs from walmart. the fish were kept in a small bowl and did fine until introduced together and allowed to breed. then the females simply died in mid birth.

Last night 1 female became the first to survive the night after giving birth. she has had 3 fry and is still gravid. her activities still seem normal. with hope she'll be the first survivor. went to purchase two new guppies but they were sick with ick and died while in quarentine.

could the shrimp be the cause of death? the female i mentioned above was in a seperate 2 gallon tank filled 1/3 with java moss to give ample places to hide using spring water and some aquarium salt witha bubble stone.
