Guppies dying with redness

[vacuumlad]

My guppies are dying. Water perimeters are good so it's some disease that I need help diagnosing. Thanks I attached pics of the sick guppies. They are in a tank with red cherry shrimp as well. They have red areas. The females have red gavid spots and makes have redness on their belly. I'm treating with salt and melafix

Could it be related to any shrimp diseases? Do you have a second tank to isolate the remaining living ones so you can treat them? Sorry, if the water parameters are right, I'm struggling to help.

The shrimp were separate. The fish got sick before I moved the shrimp in with them

Is your tank heated? Sounds like you need a proper antibiotic such as maracyn-2, kanamycin, or oxytetracycline

Yes, the bacteria is always present in declorinated water, the trick is to minimize stress so they dont become suspetible to it.

Could be aermonas or fish TB with red lesions like that, provided their simply not getting eaten by other types of fish.
