Last year I had a cobra guppy that stopped swimming, and sat at the bottom of the tank until he eventually died.
It was during a transport when I was moving, so I assumed it was from the transport.
Before his death, he mated with a female guppy, and has produced fry!
They are now at breeding age and I have 3 males, and 9 females in a 30 gallon tank.
One of the males has started to show the same signs as the previously mentioned fish, and is sitting at the bottom of the tank, so I moved him to a small 10 gallon planted tank with 2 other male guppys. (His tail also looks slightly tattered)
Possibly helpful information:
The tank he was moved from gets weekly water changes, is 80% planted, well filtered and very healthy.
The other inhabitants in the tank are 5 harlequin rasboras, 3 golden tetras and a glass shrimp.
Any advice?
(Oh, and I use Carbon and aquarium salt.)
