Hi! My female guppy has developed a flat belly for a couple of weeks now. Her underbelly seems particular flat or even concave and the scales on the underbelly only seem to protrude. I noticed other guppies having this in the past before dying later on.
She is otherwise swimming ok and eating fine. Her poo is sometimes stringy white but I suspect it is not diarrhea since it varies from normal black to white during the day.
Water parameters: ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 10
Temp: 74F
In the picture: she has a crooked head and back...been like that since I got her 6 months ago and seems normal to her. (any thoughts as to why? genetics?) She's given birth 4-5 times and survived so far. Note her flat belly that is new and a bit worrisome.
