I had three female guppies; they had been in the tank about a week and a half. I could tell they were stressed because they were clumped in the corner of the tank and their fins were close to their bodies, but I didn't see symptoms of any diseases so I assumed they were just getting used to the new tank. A few days ago, I found two of them dead and the other close to death. I moved the remaining one to quarantine, but she stopped moving unless directly provoked (ignoring food) and died this morning. I knew it couldn't have been ammonia poisoning because I did a water change the day before the two died. The only other animals in there are a dwarf gourami and two zebra nerites, and both seem completely unaffected. The last guppy was heavily pregnant and I thought she was close to giving birth because her belly was squared off, but when she died I examined her and she only had eggs, no fry.
