I've only had them for about a month. Now the orange split tail has lost the color in half of his tail. The amonia levels are back to normal now. They seem fine in every other way.

Ok. I thought all was well again but now one of the surviving guppies tail has lost almost all of his color! Its still intact and doesn't look like its rotting or anything and he seems ok, the color just went out of him. Could that be from the amonia spike they went through? I just had the...

Thanks for all of the replies. I was way overfeeding them causing the amonia to spike. I did a 25% water change and they quit dying. I did another water change 3 days later and all is well again. I started feeding them flakes also. The problem is I have 2 african dwarf frogs who eat the tiny...
