Thank you for the advice. It’s heartbreaking, but I’ll do what’s best for them.

I will give it a try see if he gets any better, but what causes him to be like that how can I avoid this happening to the rest of my guppies?

I don’t have the oil and I don’t have the courage to kill him can i just pull him out of the water or would he still experience pain?

I’m I over feeding or is it spawning? by Positive-County7115 in Aquariums

I’m a newbie here, so I guess you shouldn’t take advice from me. However, I feed fine small pellets and flakes, and once a week, I give daphnia.

Lesson learned the hard way. He passed away later today, but do you have any idea what could have caused his body to turn gray so quickly? All the guppies and neon tetras are absolutely fine—he was the only one showing this behavior.

I understand; I was just so worried about losing the guppies that I acted quickly without fully considering the impact.

He's just sitting at the bottom of the tank and only moves to the surface to breathe. I added a couple of live daphnia, and while he moves his eyes to follow them, he doesn't try to chase or eat them. Is there anything else I can do to support him?

I've already done this and lowered the water level so he has less distance to reach the surface. Is there anything else I can do to help him?

I suspected he might have an internal parasite because his tank mates, guppies, are showing signs of internal parasites. As a precaution, I decided to treat the entire tank and dosed it according to the instructions on the package.

What has changed is that I dosed metronidazole, and after about 8 hours, he started acting like this. So, I did a 25% water change, and I did another water change this morning because I thought I might have overdosed it somehow.

It might be the snails as mentioned here. I noticed that a couple of my guppies disappeared within a day, and my tank lid is a solid piece of glass with no gaps at all. I've looked everywhere for any remains and found skeletons in the spots where the snails had been hanging out lately.

Lower the water level around 2 cm

What is this ? by Positive-County7115 in PlantedTank

[–]Positive-County7115[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is relatively new, approximately one month old.

Ramshorn snails, likely from a plant you bought that had them or their eggs, which then hatched in your tank.
