Hello,
I had a pregnant guppy that I moved into a breeding box. After a few days it gave birth to alot of fry. Everything ok so far.
In order to give the female guppy a good break from harrestment from the male gupppy's I move her to a separate quarantine tank. However in the quarantine I noticed she was ignoring any food as if she was 'food blind' (would swim past food millimeters from her face. Today I found her dead. There were no signs of desease or physical attack and her belly didn't look thin.
So what caused her death? Was it some sort of desease with no symptoms or was it stress from birthing fry or being placed in a new environment of the quarantine tank?
Is the a way to prevent this in the future?
thanks in advance
