What kind of plants you got in the tanks?

The female guppy has succumbed to her illness. On the upside one of the others has had 6 babies.

Thanks. Tank looks to have cycled now. What should the levels be for best quality?

Nitrite is 0ppm nitrate is 0ppm ammonia is 1ppm and the ph7.2

Which reading you talking about? The first reading was high. Last post is what it is now.

Thanks bbradbury. Keeping chin up as don't want any more to die. Got the API test kit that the store used when I was testing with them. Just tested would you change any water with the ammonia spiked slightly?

Possibly try aqadvisor website.

I found this useful site. Http://aw advisor.com/aqadvisor.php put size of tank in and species of fish and it calculates how many fish you can have and compatibility issues etc.

Methylene Blue helps get oxygen levels up in water and treat any infections too

Ammonia poisoning. Change 50% water right away then 25% every day. I've been doing this for 10 days now and my female guppy is still alive al be it with 1 seriously educed fin. (Do they grow back?)

Had a good look at the remaining guppies and 2 of the 3 remaining guppies have red gills and 1 (the one I mentioned earlier) has half a fin (left side) her tail is always closed compared to fanned out like normal. Ordered a test kit so can do my own readings rather than having to go to shop...

My male guppy died yesterday. He was flicking a few days ago and I've been doing 25% water changes for the last 10 days. The ammonia has gone down but like I said he died yesterday. Now one of the females dorsal fin is flat and she's hiding in the top corner of the tank. I've done a 50% water...
