So I'm one of my community tanks. Well guppy community but anyway I haves serious problem. Over the past week they have show a steady decline in health. It's strange because they are showing multiple symptoms. They are unable to maintain there balance some tip forward some tip backward. A few are breathing heavy. One is clearly swollen and scales are sticking out. They will occasionally sit on bottom of tank. And some are showing sores or ulcers. I've lost 2 already. I have treated with brood spectrum antibiotic because of all the symptoms. I also do frequent water changes. There is no way all the sudden I have every disease know to fish happing in my tank at one time. Please help
 
Ok can't get pics they are really stressed. Every time I get near the they dart and hit stuff. They haven't gotten any worse yet so I guess I have to wait.
 
Well off to work. I have done all I can just have to wait until morning when I get home and see.
 
Ok we'll haven't last anymore only ones left are 2 females and one male. The male keeps to himself shows no interest in the females. Both females are pregnant. But the one is siting on top of a rock right now breathing really heavy. She can swim but is just siting still. She has gained some size but has not squared off yet. I hope is just she's in labor and not dying. I hope if she is in labor that the fry make it I lost a total of 5 fish but the death has finally stopped I hope
 
Well here are pics of her sorry for quality not trying to freak her out.

Ok well no responses yet but whatever. Anyway she is slowly getting worse she is huge with baby's but she is not going to make it. I just found her stuck to the filter so I took her out of the main tank. Idk what to do going to lose all the fry if she don't have them before she dies. She's dying as I write this.
 
I'm sorry about your fish. I've recently lost quite a few to bacterial disease. It's hard =(
