Hello

Please see the video of the fish on youtube to see the strange behavior it has :

My male guppy is reeling and barely able to swim - a very strange behavior ! - YouTube

I know that the guppies I bought are low quality and used to live
in a sewer-like water in the LFS . So living in a very dirty aquarium
with no water changes at all will be the main reason for
my guppies to die. One died by laying on the gravel common
illness. This seems the second one to die ?! :nono:

I a have 20 gallons tank with Aquaclear 20 and I do 25%-40% WC every week and my tank has 5 adult guppies 5 baby guppies , 4 adult platies , 3 baby platies. I've got the guppies a month ago and platies two days ago. I feed them twice and sometimes once a day with a pinch of crushed flakes.

Please help me because guppy laying on the gravel seems to happen
a lot with many guppy owners and thank you very much .
