We got 4 guppies, 3 girls and a boy, 10 days ago. They looked to have settled in fine, but had not noticed the male for a couple of days. This morning i saw him looking very lethargic indeed, and that he had what looked like green algae on his nose area.
This evening we were doing our weekly 15% pwc, and could not find him at all. I removed ornamwnts until the last one ( of course) was a log, to which, it turned out, our crab had taken guppys corpse.
Our tank is about 8/9 weeks old , has cycled, tested last night and 0 nitrite or ammonia. We have 4 corries 5 danios 2platys 3 guppies 2 rcc in a 78 litre tank, so dont think we are overstocked.
Daughter is of course traumatised by loss of sungle guppy. I am more worried about disease or other factors which may hurt more fish.
Does the green nose point at any disease? Any otger action i shpuld take?
Many thanks for thoughts
