Hello everyone,
I'm a new member and I need some advice for my fish. I have a 25 liter (6 gallon) aquarium. I had 3 guppies and an algae eater, and for the first month everything was fine. Both female guppies had babies (23 in total) which I kept in a plastic tank inside the aquarium. But after some time, algae eater and one of the guppies died the same day.
I took some sample water to my store and they told me that levels are not good enough and advised me to do a partial water change and apply some bacteria substrate. I also gave away the babies, keeping only 8 of them.
This happened last week and this week 2 other guppies and one of the babies also died. I bought a JBL test kid today and measured water values. They seem to be good. I'm posting it at the end of the message.
Both guppies spend their last week around the upper part of the tank, gulping air. They didn't eat. There were no anomalies in their skin, but the female had its eyes turned black (I'm attaching a photo). For some time the male had some white poop that didn't go away.
Now I have 7 fries left, and I'm worried that they will die too. I'm doing partial water changes weekly and adding bacteria. I also make sure there is enough water circulation at the top of the tank. I'm still keeping them inside their plastic container inside the aquarium, worried that maybe the filter will harm them if I take them out. Do you have any other advice?
Thanks in advance.
