Hun.. from what I've seen of your diaries, you haven't been responding to our advice and questions when we ask. Can you please tell us more about the tank you're putting these guppies in? How long has it been set up, exactly? Did you treat the water, and let it cycle? You can't put guppies into untreated water, or water that hasn't been allowed to cycle and come to homeostasis. I get the feeling you might just be buying guppies and putting them into unfit water. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry, but we need this information if you're to get a clean bill of health from any of us here.

Please make sure your little guppy house is safe for them to live in before you bring them home.

How did you cycle the tank? Did you use ammonia?
A tank with gravel, heater, water and plants alone is not cycled. There must be an ammonia source.

Just curious, how long did it take (none / 0) (#5)

before it was cycled? Five weeks? Six weeks? More?

What are your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate readings? :)

All the best!
