I noticed this morning that one of my yellow guppies have red blotches on their body. This evening i noticed another female guppy has them around her top fun. What is this? And what do i do to fix it? My pictures are pretty bad but i think they are enough to get the idea . Some of them my other fish are in the way !

Check your ammonia ASAP and post the numbers. The clearer of them looks like an injury, almost a bite mark, but the other one isn't very clear. From what I could make out, they looked like ammonia burns. What is in the tank with them? What size tank?
 
The are only guppys and a beta but he never bothers them. The one that looks injured i put in a breeder box so she is alone but her injury looks worse.. the weird thing is that all of my other fish are fine. Ill check the ammonia levels when I'm home from work. If they are high how do i fix that? I've never had that problem before
