Help my guppies look like they dip their mouths into flour and one is prego
PLEASE I NEED ASSURANCE and help. I had one tank that has been cycling with 6 guppies in it and one very prego guppy was already in a cycled tank. I noticed a huge spike of nitrites few days ago and I lost 2 male guppies who were swimming with their nose up and dimmed patches of color on their tail. I did remove the remaining 4 with the female until cycle completed, thinking it was nitrite poisoning. Today,I noticed prego guppies mouth and 3 males mouth has light beige to white discoloration. 2 feeding well, one has lost almost all it's color in tail and stopped eating. Ammonia 0, NH2 and NH3 0, pH 7.5, Cl O . Used liquid testing kit. I raised the them temp to 82, salt 1tsp/gal, melafix today. I really love to save this fish. There are 6 platies, 1 molly and 1 corry on the other tank with 6 platy fry, and they seem very healthy and active. Please get back to me soon. I am waiting on line.
