Hi there, new here, so I will try to be as detailed as possible.
I had an established 12g tank, 1 year old, with 4 guppies, 3 von rio's and 3 corydoras. I keep it up, clean it weekly, and test, all was good.
3 of the guppies were new, purchased at Christmas, all female. They came preggo, which I did not know until our aquarium was full of babies. So I scooped out the babies and put them in my hospital tank which has only snails mostly. In the mean time, I purchased a 40 gallon tank and set that up. It has been about 2 months now. After several initial set backs I got that tank established. And put 4 panda corys and the 13 babies in there. All was fine. In the 12 gallon tank I noticed our oldest guppy, yellowjello, not looking great, so after several weeks of the babies doing fine, I moved two of the female guppies in there. Dropping 1-Branson, in the meantime..:-(
Branson seemed to have no issues, eating well, and playful. Waiting a week or so until I could make sure bacteria could deal with the additions I moved the final female over, tickle. (My 4 year old named them). Yellow Jello was still not doing well and he did pass. Much to my shock so did Tickle, 2 days after I moved her. She was fine in the 12 gallon and stopped eating and died in the other.
Amonia: 0
PH: 7.4
Nitate/Nitrite were all zero.
This was two weeks ago. I clean all our tanks weekly, scrub the sides, vacuum the gravel lightly, and water.
About 5 days ago I realized Branson stopped eating. So I immediately moved her to the hospital tank (4 gallons). I tried melafix, primafix, even antiobiotics. I do daily water changes, have tried feeding banana, peas, frozen food, flake pellets, an nothing. She is active-ish, but today she is hanging around the bottom more. I am at my whits end. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I might get her through this?
I am doing daily water changes, carbon is out, UV lights off, I dont know what else to try. I wont repost the water parameters, they hasn't changed. I even took water to our local fish store to test, just incase I was missing something. They are the ones who gave me the *tetracycline*
Any thoughts are welcomed.
