| Well, one of my female guppy gave birth about three days ago. Before giving birth she used to be the most active of the females that I have and would always be seen swimming around. However, now she seems to be very lethargic and retracts herself from the rest of the crowd. Most of the time (95%), she is seen sitting at the bottom of the tank. (when she first started doing this she would atleast hover about the gravel using her fins to stay afloat, now she simply sits at the bottom) Also, she look very very thin now and her tail is not as rounded as it was before. (its more of a oval shape now). Also my tank seems to have been infected with a parasite so i'm treating it with copper safe. I also gave her a salt bath to relieve her of any parasites that might be on her. That does not seem to help her either. My water stats checks out fine with ammonia and nitrite being 0 and nitrate being 20. Thanks in advance for those helping me and my fish. smile.gif
P.S: At first I thought she was simply tired after giving birth, but after three days that seems to be out of the question. (she only gave birth to abt 6 or so fry). Also at times, I can see her not moving her mouth for a while and then she would start gasping and taking heavy breaths while moving her body, but she still remains stationary. I also think that she has fully given birth to all her fry... thx |
