I lost a male guppy from unknown causes about a month and a half ago. The second male died this week and today the female is in quarantine as I found her displaying symptoms while still alive.

She appears to have difficulty breathing and swimming. She slowly floats to the bottom of the tank and lays on her side. In my little quarantine tank, there's less water movement and she can sort of limp along for short bursts and then stops moving again.

There appears to be damage to one pectoral fin and dorsal fin. I can't tell quite if her fins are just damaged or if there is something growing on them that's eating at them.

How do I save my last lil girl?

Ammonia and nitrates 0 or next to it, water is a tad warm but I've dialled the heater way down now. I always put a little aquarium salt in too.
 
Any advice on ID'ing them or treatment? I've never had anything like these before.
