Help with my fish!

[Adrian]

Ok so i accidentally hit one of my guppies with the gravel vacuum and he instantly sank to the gravel. He tries to swim but he cant and now hes just laying in the gravel still breathing. My other guppy isnt as active anymore and is loosing color. I am also starting to notice that half of his tail is turning white. What is it and what can i do to help my other guppy?

Hi, what size tank, how long have you had it set up, is it cycled? What's your water change schedule? Have you tested recently for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate?

Not sure about the injured one; maybe just watch it and see if it recovers, it might just be stunned?

Its a 5 gallon thats been up for about 7 months. I do water changes every weekend. It is cycled and i havent tested the water recently

How did you cycle the tank?

How did you cycle the tank?

It won't matter now. If the tank has been up for 7 months even if is wasn't cycled, it is now.
