Hi, I'm very new to keeping fish and I have a 5 gallon tank which I heard is too small, but I don't think my parents are willing to expand to a 10 gallon unless it really is urgent.
Anyways, I had 1 existing Dalmatian Molly in the tank which was doing fine until I introduced three new male guppies. The Molly would always eat and explore the tank but I got home today and all four of them were in the upper right corner by the filter and haven't moved from that position in about 4+ hours. I'm really worried something's wrong, because the guppies haven't eaten since I got them two days ago and it's the first time the molly's ever stopped eating or stayed in one spot that long.
I purified the water with Top fin and also I changed the water recently. Could it be chemical build up from introducing three new guppies? The temperature is 72, which I believe is correct because they're not all huddling around the filter.
I'm sorry if I sound super inexperienced and dumb (I am!) but all help is appreciated! I just want my fish to start moving around and eating, especially the Molly, as it's been successful in that tank for a month and I'd hate for it to die now.
Thank you!!
