Got up this morning and all my female guppies seem to be on the ground

Got up this morning and all my female guppies seem to be on the ground.. And when they do swim off it's as though they can't swim for long and sink back to the floor.. I did a 50% wc last night but I also thought they looked bloated so gave them peas.. Will they be ok

 

[leannaby]

It turned out they were fine afterall..

Good news!

My yo yo loaches are like that. They all look half dead and in need of coffee first thing in the morning.

 

[leannaby]

It was really strange.. They kept trying to swim and they would just drop to the gravel like they couldn't swim

 

[Delapool]

Seems odd, can't think of anything. Had anything changed in the tank in the last few days perhaps?

 

[leannaby]

Only the fact that I had given them some peas.

 

[Delapool]

Seems fine. Do you often give them peas? Maybe just an off day.

 

[leannaby]

Never given them it before.. But at least they are ok now

 

[Delapool]

Maybe they just don't like their veggies

 

[leannaby]

Maybe.. I'm just glad they are ok now

How do you keep the fry from dying in filters and such?

 

[leannaby]

You can either cover the end with sponge to avoid the fry being sucked into the filter or place fry into another tank with a sponge filter

How many guppies can you put into a 30g tank? Kind of going over all my options trying to figure out how I want to set this tank up

 

[leannaby]

I wouldn't be really sure sorry.. Not really an expert but hopefully someone will help you out with that.. I currently have a 20g with 8 guppies.. 6 female and 2 male.. Along with tetras and 3 adf

 

[BettaMan01]

What do you do with the fry?

 

[leannaby]

I catch mine and then raise them in a separate tank with a sponge filter.. I have taken some to my lfs and sold them to them for a small amount ..

Here are some pics of my other guppies and fry

 

[leannaby]

these fry are a month old these fry are a week old with some mixed in that I found in my main tank a couple of days ago so unsure of the mother
