I haven't added anything in a little over 3 weeks. My water parameters are good. I can't recall off the top of my head. But i know nothing is high. I am not currently home

What were their symptoms before they died?

 

[Mc96928]

Bent spine, kinda like an upside down U. They couldn't swim well. And begin to get skinnier and skinner until they die.

I've noticed guppies after the give birth a few times some will die but I think my have an aggressive fish

Sounds like it may be internal parasites.

Were they breathing heavily at the surface or resting on the bottom? Transparent poop?

 

[Mc96928]

They were staying at the bottom before they would speratically swimming around.

I agree. Try treating for internal parasites first. Might want to try Prazipro or API General Cure. If one of these treatments doesn't work it may be bacterial.

I tried bacterial, and they still died. So far it seems like all of my fish are fine now. Its been a week since the last one died. I think we're in the clear
