OMG!!! What the hell killed my guppy??!! My young 4 month old guppy started bulging & I thought she was pregnant as my other adults are, but she didn’t appear to have a darkened gravid spot. Then over about 3-4 days I noticed her scales started to appear rough with a white furry look. After 24...

I've had 2 swordtails die from what I suspect is Velvet Disease. I've done a 50% water change & added Blue Planet Multi-Cure. It says to repeat treatment every 3 days with a 25% water change. The exact instructions say "A partial water change (25% of capacity) is recommended before commencing...

My swordtail is not swimming properly, her stomach seems to have flattened & her back arched with her tail end down. She doesnt appear to be using her tail right. Heres a pic of her, the orange one compared to the black spotty one. What could be wrong? I noticed this change about 6 hours ago...
