Today i was looking around my tank and i see one of my female guppy just lying around near the bottom of my tank. It reacts naturally when i was feeding but afterwards it settled back down. The symptoms are the dorsal fin is lying close to the body, the tail fin is also closed and where the body used to be translucent it is now a white colour. It does not have any fungal growth as far as i can see.

None of the other fish are affected.

It is in a ten gallon tank with 7 other <1" guppies. The filter is an tetra whisper pf10. I do not know the water parameters (ordering a test kit) PH is 6.9 the temp is 25C (78F). I feed it flakes.

Have you seen her poop? Could be internal parasites. ( if the poop is very long and stringy looking, basically not normal looking )
